There are some decent stallions listed here for an initial bid discounted over their advertized fee. Every year bidders get away with some real bargains. While most of the offered stallions are based in Texas there are stallions standing in other states including AZ and FL. I don't know if there will be a 'second flight' of breedings offered at auction after these close or not (as has been done on occaision in the past. Some breedings are Non-Guarantee so you should check with the Stallion's connections to make sure you understand the requirements before making your bid.

Thanks for the reminder, Jellac. I've got my bid in, but I'm not saying for whom until results are announced.

OK - Round II of the Texas Thoroughbred Association (TTA)'s Stallion Seasons Sale has begun with a bit less than 12 days til CLOSE. All proceeds benefit horse racing in Texas and will go to the Texas Thoroughbred Association General Fund, Political Action Committee or Educational Fund.

The following stallion season auctions have been CLOSED from ROUND I - Captain Countdown, Gold Legend, Holzmeister, Hollycombe, Open Forum, That's Our Buck and Sky Classic for excellent savings over their standard stud fee for 2007. (OK Henthorn - you can tell us now which one did you bid. Did you win? Can you tell us who your stallion choice was?

There are good values to be had in this auction.

I got the Sky Classic. See thread in MATING ADVICE forum.
