stud listing

[Craig Mcgee]

Cream of San P was given to me by Glenn Larson. He had already paid the $50,000 to list him as a stud and even hypoed him to a mare. I recently started using him on mares and had to fork out $50,000 to get him listed as a stud. I thought this was a one time fee?

In the horse history, it shows every time the stud fee is set or changed. It has only been set once a few days ago. I don't think the previous owner ever set the stud fee so they never paid the one-time $50,000. Let us know if you have data that conflicts with that assessment.

I understand that but I thought you could not hypomate without the stud having a fee set?

Craig,

I responded to your email a few days ago with such:

Hey Craig,

Glenn never paid the $50k to stand him. You can hypo without paying it. That’s why you had to pay it. Hope that helps!

Okay that explains it and thanks. Thank you for the explanation.

PS I have a bad habit of not checking my emails.
