Coolmore Stud has announced the fees for the 21 stallions that they will stand in Ireland next year. No Nay Never (Scat Daddy) will be the most expensive of those with his fee rising from €125,000 to €175,000. 

The sire of 45 stakes winners to date in his five crops of racing age, No Nay Never has enjoyed another successful year in 2022, with five of his progeny winning at Group 1 level including July Cup (6f) winner Alcohol Free and his dual Group 1 winning juvenile son Blackbeard who will stand alongside his sire for an introductory fee of €25,000 next year. 

Young stallions Saxon Warrior (Deep Impact) and Sioux Nation (Scat Daddy) are both subject to substantial fee increases, with Saxon Warrior's fee rising from €20,000 to €35,000, while Sioux Nation stood for €10,000 in 2022 and will stand for €17,500 next year. 

Saxon Warrior has sired 22 winners in his first crop this year headed by last weekends' Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winning colt Victoria Road as well as the Group 3 winners Moon Ray and Lumiere Rock. 

Fellow first season sire Sioux Nation has sired 43 winners in his first crop, three of those winning at stakes level in Lakota Sioux, Sydneyamrs Chelsea and Matilda Picotte.
