Classic winner and European champion Field Of Gold will stand at a fee of £20,000 (special live foal) for his first season at Juddmonte's Banstead Manor Stud in 2027.
At Banstead Manor, he joins his own sire Kingman, whose fee remains at £125,000 next year, and
Frankel who stays on £350,000.
The fee for Chaldean is also unmoved at £20,000, and Lead Artist has been kept at £12,500 for his second season at stud. Bated Breath's fee has also been held steady at £5,000.
Field Of Gold won the Group 3 Solario Stakes in emphatic style as a two-year-old before progressing into one of the standout milers of his generation at three.
His victories in the Irish 2000 Guineas and St James’s Palace Stakes, together with a fast closing second in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, marked him out as a colt of the highest calibre.
Frankel continues to set standards as one of the world's leading sires. In 2026 he added two further classic winners in Epsom Oaks heroine Thundering On and Irish Derby winner Benvenuto Cellini, taking his number of Northern Hemisphere classic winners to 14, more than any other active stallion.
He is now the sire of over 200 stakes winners worldwide, with an extraordinary 45 individual Group 1 winners.
His progeny also continue to light up the sales ring, and for the fourth year in a row he was the leading Tattersalls October Book 1 sire by average, with five seven-figure yearlings.
Kingman is himself emerging as a sire of sires. With Persian King, Calyx, Chachnak and Palace Pier all represented by Group 1 performers, it is no surprise that Kingman continues to prove popular in the sales ring, with a 2026 yearling average of £283,197, and his highest-priced yearlings making €1,400,000 at Arqana August Sale and 1,100,000gns at Tattersalls October Book 1.
Chaldean continues to build momentum as one of Europe’s most exciting young stallions. His first yearlings have been met with widespread acclaim, achieving a top price of €650,000, with 32 six-figure lots across all yearling sales, more than any other first-crop sire.
He covered another strong book of over 180 mares in 2026. With his first runners due to appear in 2027, Chaldean enters an exciting new phase of his stallion career, supported by strong commercial demand for his first crop. He will stand at a fee of £20,000 SLF.
Group 1-winning miler Lead Artist got off to an excellent start at stud, covering over 170 mares in his debut book. By sire of sires Dubawi and from the stallion-making family of Hasili, his exceptional pedigree and impressive physique attracted many of the most astute breeders in the business, and it is no surprise that he has proved equally popular at Arrowfield Stud, where he stood for the Southern Hemisphere season.
Bated Breath is operating at 64% winners-to-runners and 10% blacktype horses-to-runners. In 2026 he had 12 stakes performers and six stakes winners including Coppull, who added the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes and Group 3 Pavilion Stakes Gr.3 to his record.
