The newest stallions to join the ranks at Ashford Stud have had their introductory fees revealed as G1 Dubai World Cup hero Magnitude (Not This Time) will command $70,000 and MGSW Paladin (Gun Runner) will be offered at $20,000 for 2027, the farm announced Monday.The multiple Grade I winning son of Not This Time, Magnitude retired with earnings of better than $9,626,365 after being campaigned by Winchell Thoroughbreds and trained by Steve Asmussen. Paladin, a $1.9-million Saratoga Yearling Sale graduate, retired with a perfect record to his credit following back-to-back graded wins in the GII Remsen and GII Risen Star Stakes. He was campaigned by a partnership consisting of Mrs. John Magnier, Michael B. Tabor, Derrick Smith, Peter M. Brant, Brook T. Smith and Summer Wind Equine, LLC and was trained by Chad Brown.Both are available for inspection at Ashford.“To have Magnitude defeat both last year's and this year's Breeders' Cup Classic winners–Forever Young and Sovereignty–proves what an absolute powerhouse he is,” said Charlie O'Connor, director of sales at Ashford Stud. “Match that with Paladin, an undefeated early Derby favorite who beat subsequent Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo, and you have two incredibly exciting colts. Both are already showing at the stallion barn, and we welcome breeders to come down and see them.”The post Coolmore Sets $70,000 Fee for Magnitude; $20,000 for Paladin appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
