Buyers Eligible To Use Alberta-Bred Bonus Funds Toward Upcoming CTHS Sale

In cooperation with the HBPA of Alberta, the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (Alberta Division) is able to offer owners of Alberta-bred Thoroughbreds who have bonuses from races run from June through August the ability to access their 2020 Owners' Bonus and put it towards any yearling at the upcoming Alberta CTHS Thoroughbred sale.

The CTHS will let interested owners' know what their available funds are based on the bonus being paid at 20 percent. The owner will indicate the amount they wish to access and at the time of the sale those funds would be deducted from the sale price and the balance paid by the purchaser. Owners do not have to access the full bonus amount if they do not choose to do so.

The CTHS will submit the request for the owners' bonus funds to the HBPA with an accounting of each owner and the amount of the 2020 Owners' Bonus they have requested to access.

To find out how much your Owner's Bonus entails, call or email the CTHS Alberta office.

Canadian Yearling Auctions Slated To Be Conducted In-Person

The yearling sales for the provincial divisions of the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society are expected to be conducted in a live-auction format in 2020, foregoing the option of going online, Canadian Thoroughbred reports.

The publication contacted CTHS representatives in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba, with each confirming that their “Plan A” is to hold their sales as normal, within their local and national guidelines in regards to COVID-19 safety. Like anything else during the pandemic, plans are subject to change depending on increased or decreased restrictions.

First on the calendar is the CTHS Manitoba Division sale, to be held at the Red River Exhibition Grounds in Winnipeg on Sunday, Aug. 23.

The Canadian Premier Sale in Ontario will be held Wednesday, Sept, 2 at the Woodbine Sales Pavilion in Toronto. Should Ontario not be fully re-open for business by the time of the sale, the auction will be held with limitations on group sizes, and guidelines on social distancing, mask wearing, and sanitary measures. Should the situation become especially dire, CTHS Ontario will consider expanded phone and online bidding options.

British Columbia's yearling sale will take place Tuesday, Sept. 8 at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, though the group is still waiting on the province to reach the next phase of reopening before the sale can be conducted as planned. Regardless of where the province is in its recovery, the traditional preview parade for the sale has been canceled due to crowd size restrictions.

Rounding out the quartet is the CTHS Alberta sale in Friday, Sept. 18 at Westerner Park in Red Deer.
