This chart demonstrates that the breeding of quality Thoroughbreds can be a very lucrative part of the business, if not the most profitable. Albert and Beauetts' foal will be a Kentucky Bred. Upon completion of his / her racing career, It is anticipated that, if a stallion, he will stand somewhere at these levels in Kentucky. Some of these stallions book and breed in excess of 100 mares per year. Our horse will be of this quality and bring this kind of demand. Due to his / her dosage profile he / she may never have to see a starting gate to demand these fees, although, the excitement of racing for investors and their families is one of our goals.

If the foal is a filly, upon completion of what is expected to be a lucrative and exciting racing career, she will be bred, and her progeny will, either be sold, raced or sent to a breeding shed, in Kentucky with horses of this caliber.
