If you do not breed in 2010, you must believe this market is going to be just as bad in 2012 - think about, a foal conceived in 2010 will be a yearling of 2012...I think the market will be much better then and those yearlings will have been conceived on rock bottom stud fees.
IMO it seems like a better opportunity than breeding in 2009 was.

A difference of opinion is what makes horse racing and missionaries.

Thus far there hasn't been any rock bottom adjustments to the Kentucky stallion fees. I suspect the farms don't plan on taking too much of a hit. More likely they will minimally reduce their fees and just breeder fewer mares, hoping things will balance out.

I think the guys that can pick up cheap, well bred yearlings and get them to the races can make a bucket of $ next year. The commercial breeders and even the breed to race folks have too much up front cost, including stud fees, and I can't see how they could consistently beat the odds at this point of the game.

I am down to 4 mares and you can guess who I am going to be breeding to.
Having your own facility and standing a millionaire does have its advantages that is for sure.
I am even considering breeding my lightening fast Valid Expectations mare to a QH and running QH in the next few years. Hialeah is having a 40 day meet this year for good purse money! and I love Florida in the winter!

I have 4 mares, I'm selling 3 of them, and will breed the 1 I keep for next year.
I don't know for sure exactly where I'll breed, or who I'll breed her to, but I do plan on breeding for 2010.
I'm also selling most of the horses I have remaining. 3 of the weanlings for this year, plus all of my yearlings.

Breeding my Fillies
I have been thinking about breeding my fillies. One is a catagory five (storm cat) and the other is a Server the flag (deputy minister). I am looking for someone who wants to bread to them this season and send them back to me next season in foal to the same stallions. Is that reasonable?
