I'm going to assume the breeders think the recession is coming to an end. Seems like there are more and more horses going to $100k again, or are they just trying to fill the ranks of the elite who keep dying/get pensioned?
Who all have we lost this year?
El Prado to $100k

I am experiencing deja vus all over again!
25 years ago, double digit increases in the yearling market led to this same kind of hyper-inflation in stud fees. The only real difference is that fees at ALL levels participated in the jump, not just the top tier. We can expect this rise to continue until the yearling market downturns again, just as it did in 1982. Then they'll be discounting the seasons big time!
