There is one weekend left to finalize your stallion seasons through the Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners’ Association stallion auction sale.

There is a bonus incentive attached to buying your season via the stallion auction sale. A $5000 Bonus will be awarded to the person who purchased the stallion season and the resulting foal conceived from the actual season sold at the 2020 ITBOA Stallion Auction if that foal wins the ITBOA Stallion Stakes as a two-year-old and/or a three-year old.

In order to be eligible for the $5000 Bonus the purchaser of a season sold at the 2020 ITBOA Stallion Auction must nominate to the stake the mare bred to the stallion of that season by December 1, 2021.  The owner of the foal conceived must complete the nomination payments on or before the due date9s).  Change of ownership does not affect a foal’s eligibility for the bonus.

The auction ends at 7 PM on Monday, December 14, but the auction is utilizing “dynamic auction endings.” This means if any stallion receives a bid in the last 5 minutes, the auction will be extended by an additional 5 minutes. This will continue until there are no bids received in the final 5 minutes. At that point, bidding is closed for that stallion. The option was put in place to give everyone a fair chance to place the last bid and prevent “snipe” bids at the last second.
