The Washington Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association's annual online stallion season auction began Dec. 15 and runs through Dec. 22. In addition to stallion premiums, this year the WTBOA has added a chance for bidders to receive a bonus. All winning bidders will now be eligible for one of two bonus level amounts, as they will be entered into a drawing to receive a credit of up to $1,000 or the actual bid amount, whichever is less, on their stallion season purchase. The second drawing will be for a $400 bonus.
In addition, it is expected that a $7,500 or greater bonus will be available for all progeny of stallions whose seasons sold for the 2022 breeding season. The bonuses will be part of two 3-year-old stakes to be run at Emerald Downs during their 2026 racing season.
Over 90 seasons will be offered for the 2022 breeding season for stallions such as American Freedom, Army Mule, Country House, Cross Traffic, Keen Ice, Karakontie (Jpn), Lea, Speightster, Tapiture and Tapwrit.
