It has been announced that New Vocations 12th annual Stallion Auction will be held from February 3 – 9

.

The auction will be held at ongait.com.

Deweycheatumnhowe, Majestic Son, Dragon Again, Cams Card Shark, and Major In Art are just a sample of the breedings offered to 80 stallions in 10 states and Canada. All proceeds from the stallion auction go toward the care and placement of retired racehorses.

The stallion auction is being conducted this year in a new open-end format. “This means that if a bid comes in within five minutes of the scheduled close of the auction the computer automatically adds five minutes to the auction,” On Gait manager Maurice Chodash explained. “Bidding is closed if five minutes elapses without a bid. That way bidders that hover over the computer can't 'lock out' other bidders who are too late to react.”

“This open-end format should help New Vocations get the maximum for these breedings that have been generously donated, without the hurt feelings of being shut out,” executive director Dot Morgan said. “We’re still accepting breedings for this important fundraiser. I’d like to urge stallion owners that will have unused breedings to consider supporting this effort.”

Those attending the Blooded Horse Sale February 8 and 9 can place bids at the New Vocations booth.
