    Horse Racing Trivia!!

    Ok, so I decided that we should start posting some questions about racehorses, trainers, jockeys etc. Just answer the question or post your own question . I will start:


    What Thoroughbred stallion had the highest priced stud fee ever and what was his name?

    Was it Northern Dancer at a cool million? Seem to remember reading that somewhere. I know that Storm Cat was at half a mill at one point

    If you're limiting it to US stallions, but Northern Dancer (Canada) did have a stud fee of $1,000,000

    <<In the 1980s, Northern Dancer's stud fee reached US$1 million, an amount four to five times his rivals and a record amount that as of 2009 has not been equalled.[5]

    That's a hard one, Bal, the track is so old. I know that Thunder Rumble did win the Travers, perhaps him? (probably not)

    Good guess, but it's a bit later than the first NYB to do it.

    I'll give a couple of hints. It happened in the last quarter of the 20th century and in the first year this race became a Grade I.
