There is joy in Central Kentucky as the Keeneland September Yearling sale surpassed $500 million in revenue for the first time.And I don't mean just by breeders, consignors, agents, and veterinarians.In short order, the ultimate trickle down will commence.Imagine these discussions in the coming weeks at area horse farms:“You know that truck we have been needing to replace …”“You know that mower we keep repairing …”“You know how we have been wanting to purchase a new tractor …”“You know how we have spoken about replacing some fencing …”“You know that new computer system our IT guy says we need …”“You know how we have been putting off hiring a few new people …”So, what transpired in the Keeneland Sales Pavilion the last two weeks not only affects the lives of farm owners and employees but many, many others.It can affect not just the owner of the tractor dealership or paint store, but his employees and their families.Which also trickles down. The employees now have more to spend at local businesses, restaurants, etc.There also are smiles in the boardrooms of any institution that does equine lending. Loans are repaid quicker and new notes and lines of credit care established based on the strength of the industry.That also works hand-in-hand to trickle down. The man who owns the fencing company needs a loan to buy more product because more farms are calling.There would be only one thing that could burst this perfect scenario. That would be the wholesale increasing of stud fees because of the strong sale results.We should always remember that while the sale ring represents a single moment's appraisal of a horse's worth, it is on the racetrack that the real value is seen and established.And, while the past two weeks has been about selling horses, the ultimate goal is to breed winners on the racetrack.Keeping stud fees level–allowing everyone to now focus on what should be a robust mare selling season–is a huge win for everyone.Not just breeders … but the entire Central Kentucky community.Take the win, and move on.The post Letter To the Editor: Level Stud Fees Will Be A Huge Win For Everyone appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
