Newsells Park Stud has announced its stud fees for 2026. Without Parole, sire of Zavateri, one of this year’s outstanding juveniles, receives a small increase in his fee to £10,000 (from £8,000).
 
Zavateri was one of the fairytale stories of the 2026 racing year as the £35,000 yearling proved himself to be one of the very best colts of his generation. Trained by Eve Johnson Houghton he recorded tough and gutsy wins in the Group 2 July Stakes, Group 2 Vintage Stakes and then, of course, the Group 1 National Stakes, (where he memorably beat recent Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner, Gstaad).
 
Nathaniel’s fee drops slightly to £17,500 (from £20,000), while A’Ali and Isaac Shelby’s fees remain unaltered at £5,000 and £7,000, respectively. All fees are on October 1st, Special Live Foal terms.
 
Commenting on the fees, Newsells Park Stud’s General Manager, Julian Dollar said: “Zavateri provided us with one of the great ‘David & Goliath’ stories of the year, as he proved his talent, speed, and incredible gutsiness time and time again. His wins as well as those of Group and Stakes performers like Fiery Lucy, Genchev, Sea To Sky, etc., from only 84 foals of racing age, demonstrate what this top-class miler son of Frankel offers breeders. 
 
“Nathaniel has established himself as one of Europe’s premier middle distance sires with nine Group 1 winners and four Classic winners. He and Frankel are the only active sires to have produced the winners of the English, Irish and French Oaks, as well as the Epsom Derby. You have to be a pretty special stallion to sire horses of the calibre of Enable and Desert Crown and it is gratifying to see yearling buyers recognising that fact. His yearling sales average continues to rise, year on year. He is an appealing stallion for every breeder, confirmed at the highest Classic level, a leading young broodmare sire, and with a yearling sales average of more than £100,000, and yet he stands at only £17,500.
 
“A’Ali is a cracking looking horse whose progeny have shown they are exactly what they say on the tin: fast and precocious. A leading first crop sire based in Britain, (by winners and winners to runners), his progeny made an immediate impact this spring, highlighted by multiple winner and Group performer, Ali Shuffle, but have proven they can train on with a multitude of recent winners.  We are looking forward to seeing what his three-year-olds can do.
 
“As the only son of Night Of Thunder currently standing in Britain, Isaac Shelby is an incredibly exciting stallion prospect, and it was no surprise to see him well supported in his first season at stud. His looks and race record are remarkably similar to his sire. His Group 2 win as a two-year-old, his Guineas form at three and his conformation and temperament make a compelling case for breeders to use this son of Night Of Thunder, for a fraction of his sire’s fee.”
