Interesting read from 1991
Stallion "Closed Books"
Is the industry through its Studmasters and Stud Owners able to continue a policy of regulated stallion limits? The answer is simply that it cannot be sustained. The Australian Trade Practices legislation will ensure that it will be unable to retain these limitations upon challenge. When the more commercial large scale operations either break ranks or decide on economic return on investment criteria to challenge the regulations this will go. It is my belief that only "voluntary" codes of practice will survive.

The stallion sets the limit in the thoroughbreds, the same as in the standardbreds
i agree that a limit should be set. A stallion with huge .....semen production, 600 could not be that big of a deal.
