The Pennsylvania Thoroughbred Horse Breeders Association will hold its annual Stallion Season Auction Jan. 13-19 on Thoroughlybred.com. The catalog currently contains seasons for 90 stallions, and entries are still being accepted.
"We are proud that our annual auction attracts so many stud farms every year," said Brian Sanfratello, executive secretary of the PHBA. "The diversity of stallions gives breeders the opportunity to obtain stallion seasons both in Pennsylvania and other regional states, as well as some of the top young sires."
Proceeds of the sale benefit the PHBA, the racehorse retirement programs Turning for Home and New Start, as well as the PHBA Political Action Committee, which protects the Race Horse Development Fund by informing lawmakers about the importance of racing and breeding to Pennsylvania's agricultural economy.
Breeders looking to participate in the rich Pennsylvania-bred, Pennsylvania-sired breeders award program (40% of purse share earned) and the Pennsylvania stallion series have a plethora of Pennsylvania stallions to consider, including Capo Kane (Street Sense ), Cloud Computing (Maclean's Music ), Eastwood (Speightstown), Imposing (Gun Runner ), Pat On the Back (Congrats), Uptowncharlybrown (Limehouse), and Winchill (Tapit ).
Other stallions available include young Kentucky sires Arcangelo (Arrogate), Charge It (Tapit), Game Winner (Candy Ride ), Knicks Go (Paynter), Mystic Guide (Ghostzapper), Seize the Grey (Arrogate), and Tapit Trice (Tapit).
