I remember when stud fee for A.P. Indy and Storm Cat were $400k and $500K respectivly. That is just crazy to think about that. I would have two armed guards with these horses at all times. When they got to old to do the job I would of helped thier buts out. lol. Seriously though!!
How times a week can a horse breed when he is in his sexual prime. lol

How times have changed. In 1975, I went to Spendthrift Farm and got to see
Nashua and Gallant Man. They took us around each stall and then you could wander around "and make sure you close the gate when you leave".
Speaking of high stud fees, no horse ever could match the great
Northern Dancer. His stud fee ranged from $500,000 to $1,000,000.
But here is the rub: no guarantee!! So, if your mare did not get in foal--
you were out the money.
