Extreme Choice's stunning season has been recognised with Newgate Farm elevating the star stallion into rare territory for the upcoming breeding season.

The son of Not A Single Doubt has had his fee increased to $330,000, including GST, which is the equal highest fee for an Australian stallion alongside Redoute's Choice, who stood for the same amount in 2007 and 2008.

Extreme Choice, who has battled fertility issues throughout his career and only serves limited books, stood the past three seasons at $275,000.

He last year's added his name to the Melbourne Cup honour roll after his son Knight's Choice won the famed 'two-miler', while another son, Devil Night, won this year's Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes(1200m).

One of Extreme Choice's sons is one of Newgate's other stallions who earned a fee increase with Golden Slipper winner Stay Inside up to $66,000 from $55,000 after good results by his youngsters on this year's yearling sale circuit.

Cosmic Force, a son of Deep Field, will also stand for more than last season, rising from $11,000 to $16,500.

Ozzmosis ($44,000), Tassort ($38,500), Wild Ruler ($27,500), In The Congo ($27,500), Artorius ($22,000), King's Gambit ($22,000), Brutal ($16,500), Profiteer ($11,000) and Tiger Of Malay ($11,000) are unchanged, while several stallions have had their fees cut.

Former champion first-season sire Russian Revolution has had his fee halved from $66,000 to $33,000, Capitalist is down to $44,000 to $66,000, State Of Rest is now $22,000 after standing last year at $27,500, while North Pacific is $16,500 down to $11,000.
