Minnesota Thoroughbred Association’s Online Stallion Season Auction Set To Begin Jan. 3

The Minnesota Thoroughbred Association (MTA) will conduct its 2022 Stallion Season Auction Jan. 3 through Jan. 10, featuring more than 50 premier stallions from Kentucky, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, and Minnesota. The online auction will be hosted at www.thoroughlybred.com.

A $1,000 incentive is being offered again for this year's auction from the Minnesota Breeders' Fund. Any breeder who purchases a stallion season through the 2022 MTA Stallion Season Auction and foals in Minnesota, will receive a $1,000 check when the foal is registered with the Minnesota Racing Commission in 2023.

“As we look forward to 2022, organizers at the Minnesota Thoroughbred Association are excited to provide breeders with these premier stallion seasons to bid on. Our partner stallion farms have been wonderful to work with and we encourage breeders to support these farms that help support regional programs like ours,” said Kay King, Executive Director of the MTA.

Bids will be placed on a rolling basis for all seven days of the sale which begins on Jan. 3. Stallion seasons can be searched by state or name on the website. New stallion seasons may continue to be added through the duration of the sale.

Jockeys And Jeans Great American Stallion Season Sale Benefitting PDJF Set For Jan. 21-24

The Sixth Annual Jockeys and Jeans Great American Stallion Season Sale to Benefit The Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund has been scheduled for Jan. 21 through Jan. 24 on Starquine.com.

This is the only Stallion Season Auction that brings together Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse Stallions in one sale. This is a true opportunity to show the world that Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horse people will stand up for those who can no longer stand for themselves.

Since being founded in late 2014 by a group of former jockeys, Jockeys and Jeans has raised $1.9 million for jockeys who suffered career ending racing injuries. The racing community has proved to all in and outside racing that they care not only for the horses they race but the humans who ride them.

The auction begins on Friday, Jan. 21, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. and ends Monday, Jan. 24th at 5 p.m. on Starquine.com. A preview of the seasons will be available on Thursday, Jan. 20. All seasons sold, their buyers and their prices are private. If you wish to donate a season or seasons and sell them privately, they are very welcome.

All seasons are non-guaranteed and donors have the option of including a breed-back the following year if the buyer's mare does not get in foal on first cover. All at Jockeys and Jeans are volunteers and every cent of the selling prices goes to the PDJF. The charity provides a monthly stipend of $1,000 to some 60 former jockeys who suffered catastrophic career ending injuries. At least 40 are either quadra or paraplegics.

Last year, for the first time, Jockeys and Jeans sought seasons to Quarter Horses. Chiefly through the help of Quarter Horse Racing Legend, G.R. Carter, Jockeys and Jeans sold some $35,000 in seasons. The tally from Thoroughbred breeders was only slightly more.

Jockeys and Jeans would like to thank each and every season donor as well as every season buyer. Jockeys and Jeans believe that, as they say in horse racing, “What goes around comes around,” and all here hope, pray and believe your investment will pay dividends.

“We are tickled to see that the racing industry is on the rebound from the pandemic years and the sport we all know and love is regaining its health,” said Jockeys and Jeans President, Barry Pearl. “Yes, there are challenges and yes there are changes, but the needs of our fallen brothers and sisters go on. Nearly all live on a fixed income and dealing with the increased cost of living means hard choices and sacrifices. Our season sale not only offers solid stallions at a reasonable cost, but more importantly, the opportunity to make a difference in those who gave a big part of their lives to horse racing.”

Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) was formed in 1990 to raise and distribute funds to charities in the Thoroughbred industry that provide a better life for Thoroughbreds, both during and after their racing careers, by supporting qualified repurposing and retirement organizations and by helping the people who care for them. In 2020, TCA granted over $1 million to 70 approved charities working within Thoroughbred retraining, rehoming and retirement; backstretch and farm worker services, research and equine-assisted therapy. During the last three decades, TCA has granted over $24 million to more than 200 charities that successfully meet the criteria set forth in its annual grant application. TCA administers the Horses First Fund, founded by LNJ Foxwoods in 2016, to assist Thoroughbreds in need of emergency aid. TCA manages Cómo, a mobile app founded by Godolphin, that connects racing industry employees to the vital services they need through a network of racetrack chaplains and Thoroughbred industry organizations. TCA is the charitable arm of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA).

Jockeys And Jeans: Stallion Season Auction Benefitting PDJF Kicks Off Jan. 29

Jockeys and Jeans will have a new slant for its sixth annual Great American Stallion Season Sale, which benefits the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund. It will be the only Stallion Season Auction that will bring together Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse Stallions in a single sale.

“For breeders and owners of both breeds, this is a true opportunity to show that persons in both the Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horse world will stand for those who can no longer stand for themselves,” said Jockeys and Jeans President, Barry Pearl.

The auction begins on Friday, Jan. 29 at 9:00 a.m. and ends Monday, Feb. 1 at 5 p.m on Starquine.com. A season preview will be available Thursday, Jan. 28. All seasons sold, their buyers and their prices are private. If you wish to donate a season or seasons and sell them privately, they are very welcome.

“We realize this has been a difficult year for all in racing and beyond, but it is impossible to breed or own a racehorse without being optimistic,” said Pearl. “We assure you, your season donation will, for some of our fallen brothers and sisters, put a roof over their heads and pay the electric bill.”

Founded in late 2014 by five former jockeys, Jockeys and Jeans has raised over $1.5 million for jockeys who underwent career ending racing injuries. In addition to an annual Stallion Season Sale, the group organizes a yearly fundraising event at a separate track. Some 15 Hall of Fame riders are on hand to honor six of their fallen brothers and sisters who also attend.

“We realize there are more requests from worthwhile charities in racing for stallion seasons than can possibly be filled, so we thank all those who donate to ours,” said Pearl. “This sale is the only one in the entire racing industry whose entire proceeds goes to help humans; namely those Jockeys who have given so much of their lives beneath the horses we all know and love. These brave men and women are no longer riding horses but wheelchairs.”
