On Thursday, November 15, Jim Simpson, the president of Hanover Shoe Farms and the syndicate manager of the stallion Somebeachsomewhere, announced details of 'The Beach's 2013 stud fee.

His 2013 stud fee will be $20,000.

Somebeachsomewhere's first crop are now two-year-olds and in it he has done what no other sire in the history of Harness Racing has accomplished. His two year olds have already earned an all-time record of $4,642,586. He is the sire of thirty-one 1.55-or-faster two-year-olds.

Somebeachsomewhere has also demonstrated the ability to sire great fillies as well as colts. His fillies have thus far earned an astonishing $2,603,799. His two-year-olds were headed by the magnificent colt Captaintreacherous p.2,1.49.2 ($918,253), the Breeders Crown winning filly Somwherovrarainbow p.2,1.51.2 (446,831) and numerous other prominent two-year-olds.

Somebeachsomewhere will be greatly in demand and that Hanover Shoe Farms will try to accommodate as many of its customers as possible, but warns that preference will be given to current syndicate members and to those who have previously supported the horse.
