The Hunter Valley stud announced its fees for 2012 for a roster with Dream Ahead top of the list over flourishing young stallion Al Maher ($16,500); Mutawaajid ($7700), Al Samer ($6600), Eavesdropper ($5500) and Old Deuteronomy ($4400).
Emirates Park's veteran sire Danewin will also be made available to breeders by private arrangement.
Dream Ahead will be the most prolific Group 1 winning European sprinter to stand in Australia as the winner of the Deauville Prix Morny (G1), Newmarket Middle Park Stakes (G1), Newmarket July Cup (G1), Haydock Sprint Cup (G1) and Longchamp Prix de la Foret (G1) from just nine career starts as a two and three-year-old.
His book is limited to just 130 mares.
Emirates Park has purchased 50 percent of Dream Ahead to secure his long term shuttle career. He commenced his Northern Hemisphere season with a high fertility rating.
Al Maher sired his 12th stakes winner last Saturday when Fat Al won the G3 Carbine Club Stakes at Randwick from just four crops of racing age while Al Samer is the sire the recent stakes winning juvenile Underestimation.
Mutawaajid's service fee remains the same for his fourth season at stud.
