Haras de Colleville reveals fees as first-season sire Goken raised to €15,000

Leading French first-season sire Goken has received a sizeable increase to €15,000 as Haras de Colleville revealed their fees for 2021.

The son of Kendargent, a dual Group winner on the track, is responsible for the Group 3-winning pair of Livachope and Go Athletico, the latter also runner-up in the Group 2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte. The now eight-year-old has got off to a blistering start with his first crop of juveniles, who have won 20 races between them.

Having stood for €5,000 and €3,000 since his retirement, Goken has produced other smart performers including Prix du Bois runner-up Axdavali.

Kendargent has also enjoyed another fruitful season with the high-class Prix Dollar winner and Champion Stakes runner-up Skalleti leading the way. The five-year-old gelding has won five Group contests and could provide his sire with a maiden top-level win next season.

Kendargent, who is the sire of 62 stakes performers and 12 individual Group winners to date - including Ballyroan Stakes winner Nickajack Cave and the unbeaten juvenile See The Rose - will stand for a reduced fee of €10,000 (from €15,000).

Completing the trio is Galiway, a classy son of Galileo who is responsible for emphatic Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere scorer Sealiway - due to run in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Keeneland on Friday - plus the consistent stakes-placed Kenway. Galiway will stand for an increased fee of €12,000 next year.

2021 Fees

Goken - €15,000 (from €3,000)
Galiway - €12,000 (€10,000)
Kendargent - €10,000 (€15,000)
