Al Maher and Artie Schiller to stand for unchanged fee

Artie Schiller (El Prado) and Al Maher (Danehill) will stand at Stockwell Thoroughbreds in 2020 for $11,000 (inc GST) and $8,800 (inc GST) respectively, unchanged from their 2019 levels. 

Al Maher has sired two stakes winners so far this season; Al Passem and Truson, while his barnmate Artie Schiller has sired stakes-winning pair Flirtini and Reykjavik this term, while he was represented by Grade 1 winner Bowies Hero in America.  

“We are very fortunate to be standing two highly successful and proven stallions in a market that does not often offer such consistency of results year in and out,” said Stockwell’s Brodie Becker.

“Artie Schiller and Al Maher have established results, both in the yearling market and on the racetrack, through a genuine and hard earned legacy.

“Neither was afforded the massive books of high grade commercial mares to launch their careers others have been gifted, but both have proven to be genuine upgraders and with records to be extremely proud of.”

“We recognise the commercial trends in the industry and that some stallions are considered “hot” each season, but in a year of revision and reality - such as has been imposed heading into the coming season - we could not be more proud to offer two stallions who deliver each year and protect mare owners from exposure to expensive risks.”
