HORSE RACINGAmerican Pharoah's stud fee: $200K

Triple Crown winner American Pharoah will stand at stud for $200,000, among the highest prices for a horse in his first year as a stallion. The fee was set by Ashford Stud, Coolmore's American breeding facility in Versailles, Kentucky. The farm purchased the colt's breeding rights from owner Ahmed Zayat for an undisclosed amount earlier in the year. American Pharoah capped his spectacular career with a victory in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Keeneland in Lexington on Oct. 31. A stallion typically books up to 200 mares in a year, which means American Pharoah's first-year worth could be $40 million.
