Well-earned increase for Sea The Moon headlines Lanwades 2021 fees

Kirsten Rausing's Lanwades Stud in Newmarket has released its fees for the upcoming breeding season, with headline act Sea The Moon leading the four-strong roster at £22,500.

That fee represents a well-deserved increase from the £15,000 the son of Sea The Stars stood at in 2019, having supplied his first Group 1 winner when Alpine Star landed this year's Coronation Stakes.

His roll of honour features 25 stakes performers, including the Group 2 winners Quest The Moon and Wonderful Moon, while this year's yearlings fetched up to 480,000gns, with Shadwell acquiring the colt out of Snow Ballerina at Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Sale.

Study Of Man, the Prix du Jockey Club-winning son of Deep Impact, has had his fee clipped into £12,500 for his second season on stallion duty. He received strong support during his first year at stud, with Lanwades' Group 1-winning mares Lady Jane Digby and Madame Chiang among his debut book, while his owner-breeders the Niarchos family also sent him members of their blue-blooded broodmare band.

Bobby's Kitten, whose first two-year-old crop has yielded ten winners across five countries, including the Beresford Stakes runner-up Monaasib, will stand at £7,000, a fee he shares with the redoubtable Sir Percy.

The Derby-winning son of Mark Of Esteem is the source of 49 black-type performers, including Group 1 scorers Sir John Hawkwood and Wake Forest, while a brace of his Book 2 yearlings fetched 150,000gns apiece.

Stroud Coleman Bloodstock signed for the colt out of Leaderene, while Alex Elliott and Spicer Thoroughbreds bought the son of Willow Beck.
