Darby Dan Incentives for 2012
Darby Dan prides itself on having a finger on the pulse of the market. We understand the current economic conditions facing breeders. Last year, many breeders took advantage of our incentives. Thanks in large part to their support, last year was an overwhelming success for our young stallions. To continue this momentum into this year, Darby Dan will offer the following incentives:
Share the Upside - Earn a Lifetime Breeding Right
- Pay $500 non-refundable deposit
- Breed 1 mare in 2012, have a live foal pay the stud fee of $5,000
- Breed 1 mare in 2013, have a live foal pay the stud fee of $5,000
- Your lifetime breeding right begins in 2014 and continues for the Breeding life of the stallion.

Blacktype Bonanza
Have a mare that is blacktype or a blacktype producer? She may be eligible for a complimentary season or reduced stud fee. All stallions are participating in this incentive. The level of blacktype achieved will determine which stallion for which she may be eligible.
Regional Program
Darby Dan will offer breeders in select regional programs complimentary seasons for approved mares. In exchange, the stallion owner or syndicate will be named co-breeder of the resultant foal and any breeders’ awards earned shall be split 50/50. The foal remains 100% owned by the mare owner and may be sold or raced at their option.
NOTE: For Sun King, Magna Graduate or Run Away And Hide, a mare will automatically qualify for the regional program if she is an A nick or better or a 20/20 Goldmine match.
Goldmine 20/20 Match
A 20/20 mating occurs when a pattern has two or more Graded Stakes Winners with CSI values above 20 in Goldmine. This indicates that this hypo-mating has at least two superior horses with a very similar pattern.
Approved 20/20 matches are eligible for special incentives. This program may be accessed through the “Breeding Analysis” page of each stallion. For further explanation of Goldmine Stallion Match click here.
Foal-Sharing
On a case-by-case basis, Darby Dan will foal share with mare owners. In general, the terms of the contract state that sale proceeds are split 60/40. The mare owner is responsible for all expenses with regard to the mare and foal, including sale entry fees, registration fees, Breeders’ Cup nomination, etc. Once the foal reaches the sale grounds, expenses (consignor commission, sale board, Keeneland commission, etc) are split 60/40. Darby Dan retains the first right of refusal to prep and sell the resultant foal.
