Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 10, 2018 Journalists Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association is currently conducting an online auction of seasons to more than 180 stallions from 16 states. Proceeds from the online auction will fund three stakes races for all 2020 offspring of stallions whose seasons are sold at this auction: the 2022 Stallion Futurity and two 2023 Stallion Stakes races for 3-year-olds, one for colts and one for fillies. The auction began Dec. 8 and closes Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. CDT. A list of the stallions donated and details of the auction are available at http://www.thoroughlybred.com/sites/itboa. Since 2008, the Stallion Futurity and Stallion Stakes have each averaged more than $90,000 in purses and, in 2015, a race for 3-year-old fillies was offered for the first time. The three races in 2018 had total purses of just over $280,000. A $5,000 bonus will be paid to the winner of any of the three races if the foal is conceived from a breeding season purchased at the auction. Stallion donations are still being accepted.
