Payouts are happening this month, and we couldnโt be more excited and grateful for all early participants. A special thank you goes out to our platform users, competitors, and especially the sire owners who have embraced the Legendary Stakes vision by enrolling and unlocking disciplines. With one-time fees and lifetime benefits, your sires and their offspring are positioned for lasting success.

Weโre proud to announce that these results have been submitted to Robin Glenn and Equi-Stat. Legendary Stakes is creating innovative ways to participate, compete, and win. For example:
- ๐๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ: Your broodmare can now enter events through her foals. Have you ever won money with a broodmare? You can now!
- ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ: Breeders can compete with horses theyโve produced. Imagine the excitement of earning money from horses youโve bred in the past.

Letโs forecast:
- If these sires had ๐๐% ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, averaging 4 events each, the ๐๐ง๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ would be $๐,๐๐๐,๐๐๐.
- If 20% of the ๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฌ achieved the same, with offspring attending an average of 5 events each, the purse would grow to $๐๐,๐๐๐,๐๐๐.
This isnโt just a possibilityโitโs achievable. Itโs a self-renewing system that generates increasing opportunities and payouts every year.

In 2024, 18 sires contributed to the $275,178 payoutโan average of $15,288 in earnings per sire. These sires averaged 1.7 unlocked disciplines, costing $5,000 per discipline. The numbers speak for themselves: a one-time $5,000 investment per discipline yielded lifetime benefits and significantly boosted annual earnings. Was it worth it? Absolutely!
