Three Chimneys has announced its fees for the 2024 breeding season and record-breaking sire Gun Runner again will lead the way.
Topping the roster is sire sensation Gun Runner, who will stand for a fee of $250,000. The leading freshman sire of 2021, top second-crop sire of 2022, and current leading third-crop sire is the first stallion in history to have sired nine individual millionaires with just two full crops. Gun Runner currently ranks second on the general sires list with nearly $14 million in progeny earnings (through Oct. 12).
Counted among Gun Runner's 13 stakes winners and 31 stakes performers in 2023 are grade 1 winners Echo Zulu, Gunite , and Locked . They are three of 11 grade 1 performers this year. Recent Chandelier Stakes (G2) winner Chatalas is one of seven possible starters for Gun Runner in the upcoming Breeders' Cup World Championships.
Farm stallion Volatile will stand next season for $15,000 after seeing 75 yearlings average $134,973 at auction. He was the leading first-crop sire with at least two sold by average at Fasig-Tipton's The July Sale and is the sire of Three Chimneys-bred yearling filly out of Love and Pride who sold for $1,150,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
In addition, Palace Malice, whose 2024 stud fee is $7,500, will be represented with Breeders' Cup starter Brocknardini.
