Recently, major ranches around the world have announced their stallion breeding fees. Among them, Juddmonte's number one stallion "Frankel" (Frankel) will have a breeding fee of 350,000 pounds (about 3.15 million yuan) in 2024, which is equal to "Dubawi", and they are also the stallion with the highest open breeding fee in the world. As a racehorse, Van Gower has won 14 races in his career, including 10 Group 1 races, and has been the talk of the media and racing world since retiring as an excellent stallion.
Perfect results + excellent youngsters
Van Gower's breeding fees have been rising
First of all, let's take a look back at the breeding fees of Van Gower over the years. Van Goall retired in 2013, a full decade ago. In the intervening decade, Van Goall went from £125,000 in the first season to £350,000 ten years later, tying for first place in the world with the British stallion Dubai Way.
To date, Van Gower is a high-profile racehorse with 33 Group 1 winners, including 8 European Classic winners, and he is the fastest stallion in history to reach 50 championship offspring. At the same time, he and Danehill became one of the two stallions in the world to reach the 100 championship offspring.
At the recent Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe), Europe's highest prize race, Van Gower's descendants have dominated the tournament for two years in a row, and the momentum is comparable to that of his sire Galileo.
As one of Europe's most prestigious long-distance classics and the highest prize money horse race in Europe, the Arc de Triomphe Race requires extreme endurance and strength in order to win the race. This year's three-year-old stallion Ace Impact, a sire of Cracksman and grandfather Van Gower, won all six races in his career without defeat, retired as a stallion and was named European Champion Horse.
In addition, the runner-up Westover and the third-place finisher, Onesto, are both sons of the 14-race unbeaten European and world champion Van Gower, who also competed in the Arc de Triomphe last year. Thanks to the perfect results and the excellent performance of the youngsters, Van Gower's breeding fee has been increasing steadily in the last ten years, and has even risen almost in a straight line in the last three years.

A good stallion is like a "money printing machine"
The Continental Jockey Club created its first stallion for the United Owners
Obviously, a good stallion is like a "money printing machine", bringing a return on investment for the owner that lasts for more than 10 years. Van Gower is a prime example of this, having won a lot of money in his career and continued to generate a steady stream of breeding income for his owners after retiring from his retirement.
The Continental Jockey Club's outstanding champion racehorse "Blockchain" has been confirmed to be a stallion in the future. In layman's terms, according to the pedigree, "Van Gower" is the "uncle" of "blockchain". Because, the grandfather of "Blockchain" is "Galileo", and the sire of "Van Gower" is "Galileo".
"Blockchain" has played two seasons in his career, and has won 2 championships, 3 runners-up, 2 seasons and 1 hall at the Jade Dragon Circuit, and can run into the top three almost every time he plays. And the race to victory is from 1,200 meters to 2,800 meters, and it is rare to see a horse that can show dominance from short to long distances!
