Darby Dan Farm has set stud fees for its roster of nine stallions for the 2019 breeding season, led by leading third-crop sires Dialed In and Shackleford.

Dialed In will stand for $25,000 and Shackleford will stand for $20,000.

New to the roster for 2019 is Poseidon's Warrior who will stand for $6,500.

Dialed In, the leading second-crop sire of 2017 by black-type horses (12) and black-type winners (seven), is the sire of multiple Graded stakes winner Gunnevera, an earner of more than $3 million.

Gunnevera, who is targeting the Breeders' Cup Classic, finished second in this year’s Grade 1 Woodward Stakes and was third in the Pegasus World Cup.

Dialed In is also the sire of 2018 Graded stakes winners Ms Locust Point, and stakes winners Chalon and The Tabulator.

Shackleford is the sire of seven 2018 stakes horses, including Grade 1-winning three-year-old Promises Fulfilled.

Winner of the Grade 1 H Allen Jerkens and Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga, Promises Fulfilled most recently added the Grade 2 Phoenix Stakes at Keeneland and captured the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream in March.

He is expected to make his next start in the Breeders' Cup Sprint.

Darby Dan will once again be offering various incentive programmes in 2019 to provide value to breeders, including Profit Protection, Share the Upside, Black-Type Bonanza, Goldmine 20/20 Match Program, and Breed Secure.

All fees charged when standing and nursing.
