Owner Charles Fipke aims to help smaller breeders.
The Bloodhorse has reported that owner / breeder Charles Fipke will waive the 2020 stallion fees for the seven stallions that he stands in North America. Fipke's stallions all stand for US$5,000 or less and he has recognised that smaller breeders are likely to be affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
"None of my stallions stand for more than $5,000, and they are primarily supported by small breeders. Because I own my stallions outright and don't have shareholder responsibilities, I am able to do this, with the support of the farms where they stand. I'm passionate about this game and will continue to support my stallions, and I'd like to show my appreciation for outside breeders who do so as well in these trying times," said Fipke on Twitter.
The seven stallions that Fipke stands are Bee Jersey (Jersey Town) (Darby Dan Farm, Lexington), Tale Of Ekati (Tale Of The Cat) (Derby Dan Farm, Lexington), Tale Of Verve (Tale Of Ekati) (Darby Dan Farm, Lexington), Forever d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro) (Hidden Springs, Indiana), Jersey Town (Speightstown) (Daehling Ranch, California), Danish Dynaformer (Dynaformer) (Colebrook Farms Stallion Station, Canada) and Perfect Timber (Perfect Soul) (Colebrook Farms Stallion Station, Canada).
