Northview cuts stallion fees * The Racing Biz

Northview Stallion Station has announced its 2026 stallion list, highlighted by a 50% reduction in stud fees for all of its established sires and the addition of multi-rated millionaire Post Time, who will stand in front of $4,000 live foal stands and nurses in his first season.

In a letter to breeders, General Manager David Wade said the decision reflects Northview’s commitment to supporting the Mid-Atlantic breeding community amid continued financial headwinds in regional markets.

“We at Northview Stallion Station understand the challenges breeders face as they plan for the upcoming season,” Wade wrote. “To help ease that burden, we are offering a 50% discount on stud fees for our established bulls for the 2026 breeding year – while also welcoming an exciting new addition to our roster, Post Time.”

Northview’s 2026 lineup includes six stallions other than Post Time: Endorsed ($2,500 stud fee in 2026), Engage ($2,500), First Mondays ($1,000), Galawi ($1,000), Golden Lad ($2,500) and Great Notion, which is already fully booked.

Wade emphasized that the initiative is intended to ensure that “breeders have every opportunity to thrive,” noting that Northview’s stallions offer a range of desirable traits, including speed, endurance and versatility.

Wade emphasized Northview’s interest in “continuing our shared mission to strengthen Maryland’s breeding industry.”
