New Vocations Stallion Auction Starts Tuesday
New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program's 28th annual Stallion Auction will run from Tuesday, Feb. 3 through Thursday, Feb. 5 on ongait.com.
Breedings to Bulldog Hanover, Cattlewash and Muscle Hill will be offered as "no guarantee" in New Vocations’ stallion auction. All other breedings, including closed-book Summa Cum Laude, will be sold on a "live foal" basis, including Greenshoe, JK Endofanera, Rebuff, Stay Hungry, Bettors Wish, Volume Eight and Tall Dark Stranger. Mares must be optimal breeding candidates and are subject to approval.
In total, as of press time, the auction includes more than 50 stallions standing in nine states and Canada. To view the breeding list, click here. Additional breedings may be added to the auction through Monday, Feb. 2.
All proceeds support the rehabilitation, transitional training and adoption of retired Standardbred racehorses and broodmares.
"The stallion auction is crucial to funding our Standardbred division," said New Vocations founder Dot Morgan. "We are incredibly grateful to the breeders who have generously supported it over the years."
Any unsold breedings and post-auction donations will be offered throughout the season.
