Article Abstract:
Sadler's Wells is a stallion which is owned by the Coolmore stud in Ireland, and which earns $21.5 million as an annual average. His father was Northern Dancer, and he has sired champions for seven consecutive years, a feat which his father never achieved. Stallion owners benefit from the Irish tax regime, since fees received for the performance of a stallion are exempt from tax. There is a lack of good stallions in Europe, and five winners of the English Derby were sold to Japan from 1990 to 1995, of a total of six between those years.

A thousand guineas, and more
Article Abstract:
Sales of yearling horse in the US and England have not been affected by the Asian financial crisis, and prices are strong in 1998. Wealthy software entrepreneurs have helped to push up prices, with Florida's Satish Sanan, and Japan's Fusao Sekiguchi outbidding major buyers. Stallion values rather than prize money affects bloodstock markets. Coolmore Stud charges over $150,000 for the services of Sadler's Wells, the stud's best sire, which can cover 300 mares annually.
