The catalog for the 2025 Inglis Digital USA February Sale will feature a selection of Pennsylvania-bred offerings, presented by the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association. The auction will take place Wednesday, Feb. 12, beginning at 2 p.m. Eastern. The slate of Pennsylvania-bred offerings continues a years-long working relationship between the PHBA and Inglis Digital USA staff to sell horses from the Keystone State online, reaching back to the auction company's previous iteration with Liza Hendriks and her team. “We've been using Inglis Digital USA for the past few years with success,” said PHBA executive secretary Brian Sanfratello. “It gives our breeders the opportunity to offer their horses without all the costs incurred at a regular sale. Inglis is easy to work with and does a great job of advertising to prospective buyers.” Previous Pennsylvania online auctions have featured weanlings, yearlings, horses of racing age, broodmares, and broodmare prospects, all born or based in the Keystone State. In addition to access to state-restricted races, horses bred and sired in Pennsylvania are eligible for a breeders' award bonus of 40 percent on purse earnings, while owners are eligible for a bonus of up to 40% on top three finishes. “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association to feature PA-breds in our February sale,” said Liza Hendriks, CEO of Inglis Digital USA. “The PHBA's commitment to excellence has fostered one of the most rewarding breeding and racing programs in the country, and we are proud to provide a platform that connects these horses with buyers across the nation.” Entries are open for the Inglis Digital USA February Sale through Monday, Feb. 3, and the catalog will be released Friday, Feb. 7. To enter a horse for the Inglis Digital USA February Sale, for the Pennsylvania session or the open catalog, visit www.inglisdigitalusa.com.

Damon Thayer, who served 22 years in the Kentucky General Assembly–will be the keynote speaker at the National HBPA Conference Feb. 25-27 in Safety Harbor, Florida. Thayer will address the conference on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at the Safety Harbor Resort and Spa on Tampa Bay. For a Q&A with Thayer, click here. The HBPA Conference features a full-day of panel discussions and presentations on Tuesday, Feb. 25 and a half-day on Wednesday, Feb. 26, after which an afternoon at Tampa Bay Downs is scheduled, courtesy of the racetrack. The full National HBPA board will meet Thursday morning, overseen by National HBPA President Chief Stipe Daniels. In addition to Thayer's keynote address, the Feb. 25 awards luncheon includes honoring Spikezone, off an 11-for-14 season, as the National HBPA's Claiming Horse of the Year. Among other panels: The conference kicks off with a discussion entitled “HISA, HIWU and RHSA–Now and the Future”–a fluid topic with the National HBPA and others' challenges to the constitutionality the Horseracing Integrity & Safety Act and the HISA corporation it created quite possibly being heard by the Supreme Court this year. Panelists include Jay Ingle and Chris Hoskins, members of the Lexington-based Jackson Kelly law firm that specializes in equine law and which worked with the National HBPA on a horsemen's toolkit to aid racing participants in complying with HISA and the Horseracing Integrity & Welfare Unit (HIWU), as well as tips for trainers faced with a notice of violation. They will be joined by Amanda Kelsey, a member of the Ingram Group, the National HBPA's political consultant and advocate in Washington D.C. The Ingram Group has been instrumental in the creation and rollout of the Racehorse Health & Safety Act (RHSA) of 2023, introduced in Congress as a better, more transparent, inclusive and cost-effective alternative to HISA. Tina Bond, president of the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association, will discuss her “The Heart of Horse Racing” project, launched this fall to use video testimonials of horsemen, jockeys, backstretch workers and other racing participants (including fans) to share the positive aspects about the sport and why they love it. Theheartofhorseracing.com was created as part of a larger campaign to attract people to the races. The campaign, coordinated by the New York-based marketing company FINN Partners, started collecting market data last June. The “Today's Workforce Issues” panel is particularly timely given today's immigration climate. Speakers will be Oscar Gonzales, the California Horse Racing Board's vice chair and who worked in the Biden administration in the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as serving as a senior advisor on immigration; prominent immigration lawyer Will Velie; and Remi Bellocq, a former CEO of the National HBPA who left in 2011 to become executive director of Bluegrass Community and Technical College's (BCTC) Equine Program. The annual Kent Stirling Memorial Medication Panel will provide an update on the scientific investigation of testing thresholds for dietary and environmental substances, a research collaboration between the HBPA and the U.S. Trotting Association. The presenting researchers: Drs. Clara Fenger, Rob Holland, Kim Brewer and Thomas Tobin. “Providing Answers and Help for Mental Health Awareness” led by professional counselor and exercise rider Sally Jane Mixon. “Helping Horsemen through Today's Technology” with Jay Inglis of Horcery Cameras and Mike Novak of Backstretch Software. Gunner LaCour, president of the non-profit CHRIMS-PGSI, will highlight the technology-services company's offerings to horsemen to ensure they are getting their fair share of wagering/gaming distributions. New this year: A daily historical horse racing (HHR) auditing. Also during the Feb. 25 awards luncheon: Marty Maline, who served as the Kentucky HBPA's first executive director from 1976-2022, will be recognized as a National HBPA Living Legend. He'll be interviewed on stage by longtime Kentucky HBPA board member and past president Rick Hiles. A special session will be held for those providing benefits and services to horsemen and backstretch workers, with another one for the state affiliates' executive directors.

Nine years after he re-entered the sport after a 20-year absence, Peter Brant has built a broodmare band that is the envy of the breeding world. Between sales purchases and talented fillies and mares on the track retiring to be bred, he has amassed some of the most powerful bloodlines in the business. He sat down and talked to the TDN about plans for his top European and American mares. A few select European mares appear below. Click here to read about his American mares. BLOWOUT (GB), 9, Dansili (GB)-Beauty Parlour (GB), by Deep Impact (Jpn). To be bred to Wootton Bassett (GB) Blowout (the GI First Lady Stakes winner at Churchill Downs) is going to Ireland, and she's going to Wootton Bassett at Coolmore. I think it's a good cross. He's a strong horse, he gets nice-size horses, and she was a beautiful horse but a little on the smaller side. Wootton Bassett crosses well with Dansili, and she's by Dansili. IN ITALIAN (GB), 7, Dubawi (Ire)-Florentina (Aus), by Redoute's Choice (Aus). To be bred to Frankel (GB) In Italian is a four-time Grade I stakes winner and earner of over $2 million. I like the cross of Frankel and Dubawi (Ire) and she's a very well-made mare. Frankels tend to takes on the characteristics of the mare and this horse should be a grass horse. MY SISTER NAT (FR), 10, Acclamation (GB)-Starlet's Sister (Ire), by Galileo (Ire). To be bred to Wootton Bassett My Sister Nat is a mutliple stakes-winning G1-stakes placed mare who is a half-sister to seven-time GI SW and champion turf female Sistercharlie (Ire), and French Classic and Arc winner Sottsass (Fr). My Sister Nat is also going to Wootton Bassett. She's had some good-looking foals by Dubawi and Kingman (GB). We like Kingman a lot and she's been bred to Frankel, so we're going to breed her to Wootton Bassett. I like the Acclamation cross, especially with her being out of a Galileo mare. He's a proven stallion, and she's a very well-bred mare. She's a sister to Sistercharlie, who won the Breeders' Cup, and it's an amazing family, with Sottsass, and Shin Emperor (Fr), who was just second in the Japan Cup. SISTERCHARLIE (IRE), 11, Myboycharlie (Ire)-Starlet's Sister (Ire), by Galieo (Ire). To be bred to Dubawi Sistercharlie is going back to Dubawi. She's in foal to Siyouni (Fr). She has two Dubawis on the ground-a two-year-old and a yearling, and we really like what we're seeing. Both the two-year-old and the yearling are very, very good-looking horses.
