Shadwell has announced the fees for its five-strong roster of stallions, with the six-time Group 1 winner Baaeed standing for the reduced sum of £55,000 in 2026 – when he will be represented by his first two-year-old runners.“The roster is headed by Baaeed, the highest-rated racehorse in Europe for over a decade and who stands as a fitting tribute to Shadwell's dedication to the Thoroughbred,” read a statement from Shadwell.“Supported by many of the world's leading breeders, Baaeed has already covered three outstanding books of mares. His first yearlings were offered this year and included sales of €800,000 and 625,000gns etc., reaffirming his status as one of the most exciting stallion prospects of the modern era. At his fee of £55,000, Baaeed offers breeders the opportunity to be part of something truly special.”This season, Baaeed covered 165 mares at a fee of £65,000 at Beech House Stud in Newmarket, where he is joined by Mohaather and Mostahdaf.Mohaather will stand for £10,000 (from £15,000) next year, after first-crop son Big Mojo provided him with a breakthrough Group 1 success when winning September's Haydock Sprint Cup, while Mostahdaf's fee has been dropped to £9,000 (from £12,500) ahead of his first foals being sold in the coming weeks.At Derrinstown Stud In Ireland, Minzaal remains unchanged at €12,500, while Awtaad has had his fee increased slightly to €8,500 (from €7,500).“Minzaal's first yearlings were also offered this year and they generated some exceptional prices, including soaring up to 550,000gns and 450,000gns etc., at an average of almost 6-times his first-season fee,” the Shadwell statement said of the former Owen Burrows trainee.“Having captured the Group 1 Sprint Cup as a four-year-old and the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a juvenile, Minzaal combines speed, precocity and Group 1 consistency across three seasons. With all the boxes ticked for an Irish commercial stallion, Minzaal looks to follow in the footsteps of his sire Mehmas and grandsire Acclamation at his unchanged 2026 fee of €12,500.”It continued, “Awtaad has enjoyed a remarkable year. Ethical Diamond's track record breaking success in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf builds on the multiple Group 1 successes of Anmaat and Anisette.“His 2025 roll of honour also includes new stakes scorers Waterford, Naomi Lapaglia and Thalara, as well as two stakes performing two-year-olds and a Royal Ascot double. He continues to prove himself a consistent source of top-class performers at a value fee.”The post Baaeed Heads Shadwell Roster for 2026 at Reduced Fee of £55,000 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
