Taylor Made has become the latest farm in Kentucky to release 2018 fees for its roster, led by two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome, who will remain at a fee of $40,000 in his second season.

Mshawish, a dual Grade 1-winning son of Medaglia D'Oro, will have his fee clipped from $20,000 to $15,000, while Not This Time, runner-up in last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile, will stand his second season for an unchanged fee of $15,000.

Grade 1-winning miler Midnight Storm will be a new addition to the Taylor Made roster next year. The six-year-old son of Pioneerof The Nile won last year's Shoemaker Mile and is expected to have his final race in next month's Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar.

Midnight Storm was last seen finishing second to Dubawi entire Mubtaahij in the Awesome Again Stakes and will be introduced at a fee of $12,500.
