With his shiny coat, tall frame and royal demeanour, Shahbaz has become a sensation at the Pushkar Cattle Fair in Ajmer. It is known for showcasing India's best livestock and equestrian excellence.

Alongside him, another star attraction was Badal, a stallion valued at ₹11 crore. Known for fathering 285 colts, Badal's owner proudly refused to sell him despite several lucrative offers.

Highest breeding fees in 2025

Topping the global list are Dubawi and Frankel, both based in England. Each of them commands £350,000 ( ₹4.11 crore) per covering. They have a track record of producing champions.
