Ocala Stud has set its 2025 stud fees for its roster of eight stallions for the upcoming breeding season, led by Florida’s leading first-crop sire Win Win Win, who will stand for $8,500. Roadster will stand for $7,500 and Colonel Liam will stand for $6,500. The roster is bolstered by the addition of Khozan—Florida’s leading sire each year since 2020—who will stand for $6,000.

    Win Win Win has been represented this year by Nooni, the $1.8 million Ocala Breeders’ Sales March sale topper and front-running winner of the Gr. III Sorrento at Del Mar. A TDN Rising Star campaigned by Zedan Racing Stables and trained by Bob Baffert, Nooni turned heads at the March Sale, breezing a co-record quarter mile in :20.20 at the under tack preview.

    In addition to her stakes victory, Nooni finished a close second in the Gr. II Oak Leaf at Santa Anita. Win Win Win is also the sire of Win N Your In, winner of the $95,000 Sharp Susan and the $200,000 Florida Sire Stakes Susan’s Girl at Gulfstream Park. By Hat Trick, Win Win Win hails from a deep Live Oak Plantation family and is a descendant of the influential Halo sire line.

    Roadster, a son of perennial leading sire Quality Road, will have his first yearlings in 2025. An impressive winner of the $1 million Santa Anita Derby in 2019, Roadster defeated stablemate Game Winner—the previous year’s Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old male champion. He also finished second to Omaha Beach in the Gr. I Malibu, second in the Gr. II San Carlos and runner-up to Gr. I winner Mucho Gusto in the Gr. III Affirmed. Roadster is out of the stakes-winning and stakes-producing Silver Ghost mare Ghost Dancing and is a half-brother to Gr. I winner and Keeneland track record-setter Ascend. 

    Colonel Liam was a back-to-back winner of the $1 million Pegasus Turf Invitational at Gulfstream Park. He also captured the $1 million Turf Classic at Churchill Downs, posting a 102 Beyer speed figure. Colonel Liam was a $1.2 million graduate of the OBS Spring Sale, where he was purchased by Jacob West on behalf of Robert and Lawana Low after breezing a quarter mile in an eye-catching :20.80.

    A son of Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Liam’s Map, a half-brother to leading sire Not This Time, Colonel Liam is out of the Bernardini mare Amazement and hails from the family of multiple Gr. 1 winner Wonder Again, his second dam. Colonel Liam will have his first yearlings in 2025.

    Khozan, the leading Florida Sire again this year with progeny earnings nearing $5 million, is a son of Distorted Humor out of Delta Princess, by A.P. Indy. A half-brother to Gr. 1 winners Royal Delta, Crown Queen and Delta Prince, Khozan made just two career starts. He broke his maiden in sensational fashion in his Gulfstream Park debut, earning a 102 Beyer before trouncing allowance foes by nearly 13 lengths in his second start at one mile.

    Khozan is represented this year by R Harper Rose ($377,230), winner of the Gr. III Forward Gal and second in the $102,000 Any Limit; Lure Him In ($521,233), winner of the $95,000 Sunshine Classic at Gulfstream Park; and graded stakes-placed Hot Peppers ($424,950), runner-up in the Gr. III Las Flores at Santa Anita.
