American Pharoah stud fee set at $200,000

Owners could make up to $40 million next year if AP breeds with the maximum 200 mares. PioneeroftheNile fees went from $60,000 to $125,000 because of AP success.

I have a strong suspicion he will be an average to good sire. I don't see him being a building block to the future like a Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector, Seattle Slew, etc....

Even Secretariat was a dud in terms of his sons. He actually turned out to be a great broodmare sire.
