Yulong Announces 2021 Sire Fees

With four new stallions added to its roster, 2021 service fees for Yulong’s six stallions, including the exceptional Written Tycoon, have been announced. Currently the leading active sire on the Australian General Sires’ premiership, Written Tycoon (Iglesia) adds proven star quality and will stand the 2021 season for $165,000 inc GST. Tagaloa (Lord Kanaloa) has been retired from the track as a Group 1-winning 2YO and Group-winning 3YO after brilliant victories in the 2020 Gr1 Blue Diamond Stakes and 2021 Gr3 CS Hayes Stakes. Tagaloa will stand at $33,000 inc GST and is positioned to cover a strong book including a decent number of Yulong's own mares. Gr1 Phoenix Stakes winner Lucky Vega (Ire) will be the first son of Lope de Vega to stand in Australia. Most recently a superb third in the Gr1 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, Lucky Vega will debut on the Yulong roster this year at a fee of $22,000 inc GST. Gr1 Cantala Stakes winner, and successful at elite level in South Africa, Yulong Prince (Gimmethegreenlight) is Yulong’s fourth new addition to the roster and he will stand his first season at $9,900 inc GST. Meanwhile, Yulong's foundation stallion Grunt (O’Reilly) stands his third season at $13,750 inc GST, while Alabama Express stands his second season at $24,750 inc GST after covering an elite debut book of mares in 2020. "Of the six stallions we are standing, we have five Group 1 winners on the track and the other one is Written Tycoon, who has left multiple Group 1 winners himself," Yulong’s Sam Fairgray said.  “We have a diverse roster, with stallions at multiple price points and at different stages in their career. We look forward to welcoming breeders to Yulong to check them out in person.”
