Deep Field’s good season sees his fee increased to $88,000 at Newgate Farm this spring.
Newgate Farm's first-season sire sensation Capitalist (Written Tycoon) will stand for an increased fee of $99,000 (inc GST) this coming spring, up on his 2020 fee of $44,000 (inc GST), while Deep Field (Northern Meteor) has also been subject to well earned fee increase and will be offered to breeders at a fee of $88,000 (inc GST), having stood for $55,000 (inc GST) last season.
Capitalist has been an instant success, siring nine winners in total, including one in New Zealand. His first crop includes four stakes winners, headed by Saturday's ATC Champagne Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Captivant, while he is also the sire of Group 3 scorer Kalashnikov and Listed-winning duo Tycoon Humma and Profiteer, who landed the lucrative Inglis 2YO Millennium (RL, 1100m) on February 6.
Astonishingly, the son of Written Tycoon (Iglesia) is set to not only by crowned by champion first-season sire in Australia, he is also on track to be awarded the honour of being the leading first-season sire in New Zealand, by earnings and also the leading Australian two-year-old sire in Australia by earnings, sitting $230,753 ahead of his Golden Slipper Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m)-producing barnmate Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt), who it was announced last week will stand the 2021 breeding season for a private fee.
Fellow first-season sire Flying Artie (Artie Schiller) has also enjoyed a good first season, siring five winners headed by brilliant Blue Diamond Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) winner Artorius and as result he will stand for an increased fee of $33,000 (inc GST), up on his 2020 fee of $22,000 (inc GST).
Meanwhile Newgate Farm's quartet of first-season sires is completed by Winning Rupert (Written Tycoon) - who has sired five first-crop winners this season, including Listed-placed filly Bolsonaro - and has had his fee 2020 fee of $16,500 (inc GST) shaved back to $11,000 (inc GST) this year.
Newgate's four first-season sire stallions all sit within the top ten in Australia's champion leading first-season sire championship and Newgate's managing director Henry Field said he was proud of the exploits of the young sires.
"We could not be prouder of our first season sires' record-breaking year," said Field. "These young stallions will make a huge impact on the Australian breeding industry for many years to come.
"These young sires have achieved something for Newgate never before accomplished by an Australian stallion farm. Their success embodies everything that we set out to deliver when myself and my partners, Gavin Murphy and Matthew Sandblom started building the Newgate stallion business."
Deep Field has also enjoyed a good year on the track, with the son of Northern Meteor (Encosta De Lago) siring five stakes winners headed by Portland Sky, who dead-heated with Celebrity Queen (Redoute's Choice) in the Oakleigh Plate (Gr 1, 1100m) on February 20, while he is also beginning to make his mark in Hong Kong, siring eight winners, headed by Group 1-placed gelding Sky Field.
The stallion has also enjoyed a good season in the sales ring, with 114 of his yearlings selling for an aggregate of $17,996,103 at an average of $157,860 and Field said the stallion's profile in both Australia and Hong Kong had taken a significant step forward this season.
"There's no question that Deep Field has made his mark as one of the best young sires in both Australia and Hong Kong," said Field. "Not only is Deep Field excelling on the racetrack, they are dominating the sales ring, where he is one of Australia's most commercial young sires.
"With progeny from the best mares he has covered in the pipeline, Deep Field should go from strength to strength in the oncoming years."
Deep Field will stand alongside his son Cosmic Force, who covered his first book of mares last year at a fee of $16,500 (inc GST) and he will stand for an unchanged fee this spring, while Tassort (Brazen Beau) and Brutal (O'Reilly) will also stand their second seasons for an unchanged fees of $11,000 (inc GST) and $27,500 (inc GST) respectively.
New to the Newgate Farm roster this season is Group 3 winner North Pacific (Brazen Beau) and it was announced earlier in the month that he will stand for an introductory fee of $22,000 (inc GST).
"We are so thrilled to have acquired North Pacific to stand on the Newgate roster," said Field. "With many similarities to the profile of another former Hawkes trained Group 1-placegetter in Deep Field, North Pacific was also rated by the astute horsemen as a special talent whose career was prematurely cut short. Similar to Deep Field in his first season, North Pacific has been smashed with bookings."
Russian Revolution (Snitzel) will have his first runners next season and he will be offered at an unchanged fee of $44,000, while Menari (Snitzel) will also have his first two-year-olds on the track this spring and he will stand for a reduced fee of $11,000, having stood last season for $16,500 (inc GST).
"We could not be prouder of the stallion roster we've assembled at Newgate over the last few years. Our stallions are dominating both on the racetrack and in the sales ring," said Field.
"We are hugely appreciative of those who support us, and it is great to see so many of our clients kicking goals with the progeny of our stallions."
