TCA STALLION SEASON AUCTION GROSSES $1.9 Million
Thoroughbred Charities of America held their 16 th annual charity stallion season and art auction on Saturday, December 3rd. The event was held at CandyLand Farm in Delaware and audiocast to Cross Gate Gallery in Lexington. With 700 people participating, the gross total raised was $1,900,000.
Highlights in the sale of 210 stallion seasons include 4 seasons selling for over $100,000 a piece: Empire Maker, Mineshaft, Pulpit and Unbridled's Song. This auction's results, coupled with the TCA Saratoga Golf Tournament in August and donations, will put TCA revenue for the fiscal year at over $2,200,000.
TCA is grateful to the 90 stallion farms for their donations and those who purchase their seasons through this auction. Without such strong industry support, the groups enabling the secondary careers for Thoroughbreds and those unsung heroes working with them, would not get the grants so vital to each of them.
