ThoroughbredAuctions.Com Adds ‘Make An Offer’ Feature To Online Auctions

New for 2022 in ThoroughbredAuctions.com is the “Make an Offer” feature in their online auctions.

“This feature has had considerable success in our sport horse online auctions, and Cathy and I decided the time is right to open it up to our Thoroughbred auctions. It's something no other Thoroughbred online auction companies are offering” said Tim Jennings of ThoroughbredAuctions.com.

“Make an Offer” is similar to “Buy it Now,” except that no purchase price is given. Potential buyers must have an account, be logged in, and have a bidders number. Only then will the “Make an Offer” button appear. A buyer makes an offer by clicking the button and entering the amount offered. ThoroughbredAuctions.com will then take the offer to the seller, and negotiate from there. The offer can be accepted, rejected or negotiated to an acceptable amount. If an acceptable price is agreed on, ThoroughbredAuctions.com will send out an invoice. Payment must be received before actual bidding opens. If bidding opens, any offers will become null and void.

“Make an Offer” is another way that the company can better serve their customers' needs. It is now available for the January Mixed Auction for Thoroughbreds.

Entries for that auction are open. Go to ThoroughbredAuctions.com and follow the links to the entry form. Bidding opens Dec. 30, and closes Jan. 4. Entry fee is $250/horse and 5 percent commission if sold. No RNA fees.

Flashpoint Bloodstock and its subsidiaries SportHorseAuctions.com and ThoroughbredAuctions.com pioneered Internet Auctions for equines and have produced more than 101 online horse auctions since 2012, selling 2,062.

The Flashpoint team produced some of the most successful online equine auctions ever held: The R.D.

Poseidon’s Warrior Relocates To Century Acres In Texas

Poseidon's Warrior, a Grade 1 winner and sire of Grade 1 winner and multi-millionaire Firenze Fire, is relocating from Pennsylvania to Century Acres in Hempstead, Texas, for the upcoming breeding season in a deal brokered by Jamie LaMonica and Brenden Heeney, it was announced today. Poseidon's Warrior will stand the 2022 season for $3,500 S&N.

Poseidon's Warrior will be following in the footsteps of champion Valid Expectations and Too Much Bling who once stood at the farm which was formerly a part of the Lane's End Texas operation.

Campaigned and owned by Tom McGrath's Swilcan Stable, Poseidon's Warrior is a son of perennial leading sire and emerging sire of sires Speightstown. He is produced from the multiple stakes-producing Smarten mare Poised to Pounce and is bred on the same cross as Smart Strike. Plans call for Poseidon's Warrior to be syndicated with limited shares offered to breeders.

Florida's leading freshman sire of 2017, Poseidon's Warrior is the sire of Grade 1 winner and nine-time graded stakes winner Firenze Fire. Victorious this year in the Grade 3 Runhappy Stakes and the G2 True North Stakes for the second consecutive year, Firenze Fire registered his biggest career victory in the 2017 G2 Champagne Stakes at two, defeating subsequent 2-year-old champion Good Magic.

Firenze Fire is mere inches away from owning two more additional Grade 1 wins as he finished second by a head to Yaupon in this year's G1 Forego Stakes and he was runner-up by a nose to Imperial Hint in the 2019 G1 Vosburgh Stakes. All told, Firenze Fire, his sire's leading earner, won 14 races and banked $2,730,350 in an outstanding racing career.

In addition to Firenze Fire, Poseidon's Warrior is also represented in 2021 by multiple stakes winner Warrior's Pride, and stakes-placed performers Poseidon's Passion, Advocate Harbor, and Primal Destiny. He is also the sire of stakes winner Navy Commander and multiple stakes-placed Splicethemainbrace.

Winner of Saratoga's G1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap at four, running a 104 Beyer, Poseidon's Warrior won seven races, five of them stakes, by a combined 31 lengths. In addition to winning the Vanderbilt, he also captured the NATC Futurity at Monmouth by seven lengths at two, the East Hanover Stakes, and the Le Bagoter Stakes as a 3-year-old, and the Fabulous Strike Handicap at four en route to career earnings of $701,147 for Swilcan Stable.
