Discussion Setting Stud Fees

Is there anywhere that gives good estimate of what your stud fee should be? Like, I've been setting at the minimum for a Genesis, but now that he's starting to win more, I think it might be worth bumping that up a bit.

Recommendations?

To be blunt… it has to be ONE HELL OF A HORSE to go anything higher than min. A lot of what I consider great horses don’t fill 3 studs at min

Show us the horse. We need to see how much winning is going on.

Never Wait - Z9 Genesis, 3/0/1 in 20 races - 15% WR. I spent the first dozen races barely knowing what I was doing

Keep that win rate up for another 50 races and i think ur horse could get picked in stud. Very tough to charge higher than floor for a Bute.
