The highest price was $6600 for the Christchurchbased Smooth Fella, whose regular fee is $2500. The service to Smooth Fella, which is fully booked next season, was' bought by Mr Cliff Henshaw, of Albany. Next was Lordship at $4700, followed by Game Pride at $2200. Lordship stands at $3500 and Game Pride at $l5OO. Game Pride is the leading sire this season. Like Smooth Fella, both Lordship and Game Pride stand in Canterbury.
