The Washington Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association's fourth annual online stallion season auction begins on Wednesday, Dec. 15, and runs through Wednesday, Dec. 22.
In addition to stallion premiums, this year the WTBOA has added a chance for bidders to receive a bonus. All winning bidders will now be eligible for one of two bonus level amounts, as they will be entered into a drawing to receive a credit of up to $1,000 or the actual bid amount, whichever is less, on their stallion season purchase. The second drawing will be for a $400 bonus.
In addition, it is expected that a $7,500 or greater bonus will be available for all progeny of stallions whose seasons sold for the 2022 breeding season. The bonuses will be part of two 3-year-old stakes to be run at Emerald Downs during their 2026 racing season.
Over 90 seasons will be offered for the 2022 breeding season with many attractive proven and fledgling stallions offered. Among those listed are stallions standing in Kentucky, New York, Florida, California, Washington, Oregon, British Columbia and New Mexico.
Donations from farms large and small once again prove how generous the Thoroughbred industry can be. Just to name a few of the stellar stallions represented are American Freedom, Army Mule, Coast Guard, Conveyance, Country House, Cross Traffic, Curlin to Mischief, Disco Partner, Faversham, First Dude, Gio Ponti, Graydar, Keen Ice, Karakontie, Lea, Majestic City, Ministers Wild Cat, Protonico, Sir Prancealot, Skipshot, Smiling Tiger, Speightster, Tapiture and Tapwrit.
WTBOA also has one additional stallion season available for bidding – Echo Town. Information on him can be found on the WTBOA website (www.washingtonthoroughbred.com).
