20th
Annual Thoroughbred Charities of America Stallion Service Auction
Over 250 people attended the live auction sponsored by Brushwood Stable,
Cobra Farm, CandyLand Farm, Lael Stables and Rosenberg Thoroughbred Consulting
while volunteers from Fasig-Tipton were on-hand to conduct the auction. The
majority of the stallion seasons were sold during the telephone auction and 28
seasons including A.P. Indy, Arch, Bernardini, Candy Ride, Distorted Humor,
Dixie Union, Exchange Rate, Giant’s Causeway, Malibu Moon, Medaglia D’Oro,
Smart
Strike, Street
Cry, Street Sense and Tiznow were included in the live auction.
The highest priced seasons of the evening were no guarantee seasons to
Street Cry and Medaglia d’ Oro that sold for $140,000 and a live foal A.P.
Indy season that sold for $150,000.
“The TCA auction would not have been possible without the generous
support of our sponsors and stallion season donors,” said Erin Crady,
executive director of TCA. “The generosity of the many breeding farms,
trainers and other season donors has been truly remarkable.”
Herb and Ellen Moelis and the late Allaire duPont were recognized as the
founders of TCA. Beverly Strauss and Ginny duPont Suarez of MidAtlantic Horse
Rescue were presented with the TCA Industry Service Award.
Herb Moelis, president of TCA stated “in view of the economic climate I
am very pleased and encouraged by the results of this auction.” Moelis, who
announced his intention to retire as president at the end of his term in June,
further stated “the excellent results of this event give me confidence that
TCA and the Thoroughbred industry will come out of this recession stronger than
ever.”
TCA was formed in 1990 to raise and distribute funds for charities in the
Thoroughbred industry which provide a better life for Thoroughbreds both during
and after their racing careers by supporting retirement, rescue, research and by
helping the people who work with them. TCA is the charitable arm of the
Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA). For more information, visit
