The Indiana Thoroughbred Alliance (ITA) Stallions and Services Auction launches Wednesday with two preview days on Starquine.com, and then begins online bidding at 10 a.m. EST Friday through 5 p.m. EST Monday. Top stallions from Florida, Indiana and Kentucky are featured alongside services such as broodmare board, transportation, marketing and veterinary services. The event will be hosted on Starquine.com.

The inaugural ITA SSA raised more than $36,000, with all of the proceeds going towards aftercare, education and promotion efforts for the Indiana Thoroughbred industry. The ITA has a mission to top the 2020 total to be able to help more Indiana equine industry endeavors.

“Having our auction prior to the holidays is the perfect excuse for some last-minute gift shopping as well as tax deductions prior to the end of the year,” said Christine Cagle, the ITA's Stallions and Services Auction Chairperson.

Money from the 2020 auction went to assist in launching a first-of-its-kind retirement program called the Broodmare Bunch, which is a program to assist potentially at-risk broodmares in finding homes after their breeding careers have ended. Tri-State Thoroughbred Rehab and Rehoming, Inc., received fundal to help less desirable horses retiring from racing that may have physical or mental issues that need rehab before retraining.

“While the ITA is a group of Thoroughbred breeders and owners, we understand that it is our job to also ensure racehorses are able to move on to new lives and careers after the track,” said Cagle. “This is the one big fundraiser we do, and all of the money goes to a greater good.”
