The Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society’s 2026 stallion auction will close today (Friday, Feb. 20) at noon.
It is important to note that the end time can be extended to a maximum of 30 minutes on each of the 16 stallion breedings available if there is continued bidding. You are notified by email and/or text (if you select that option) if you are the winning bidder and if someone has outbid you.
This year, OSAS is using 32 Auctions as its auction platform site. Here is the explanation of how the extended bidding works: If an item receives a bid during the final three minutes of the auction, the item end time will be extended to allow for three additional minutes of bidding. This process repeats until no new bids are received during the final three minutes of the item bidding window or the auction has been extended for a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the original end time. When an auction is extended, you will see "Extended Bidding" messages displayed throughout the auction with a link for easily viewing all of the extended items.
