The Alabama Thoroughbred
Breeders Racing Association will hold the annual stallion auction fund
raising event. It will be held online at
www.thoroughlybred.com from January 11th to 25th. This
event is to raise monies towards The Alabama Stallion Stakes Series.
There will be two races, one for 3 year old fillies and one for 3
year old colts and geldings. Each race will be for a purse of
$50,000 or greater. The first races shall be run in 2011 and each
year thereafter. There will be additional races added as fund
raisers and additional donations are made over the years. All races,
times, locations will be decided upon on a future date.
The Stallion Stakes series will be
open for all Jockey Club registered stallion owners to participate.
Stallions that stand outside Alabama can participate by donation of one
stallion season. Stallions that are resident to Alabama can participate by
paying a $250.00 nomination fee. Once the season is donated, or the
stallion is nominated, all of said stallions' progeny will be eligible for
that year's resulting foal crop. Each foal from the approved stallion
shall pay additional fees. The foal nominations will be $50.00 for the
weanling year, $100.00 for the yearling year, $200.00 for the two year old
year and a $300.00 entry fee to complete the foal's eligibility
requirement for the stakes series.
All stallion season donations are
tax deductible under the non-profit donation status of The Alabama
Thoroughbred Breeders Racing Association.
We are hoping to have a successful
fund raiser this year and each subsequent year but your support is needed.
Please donate a season, nominate a stallion or donate your time to
encourage breeding and racing for Alabama .
Let us know how you are willing to
help.
Membership: We are still taking membership applications (Membership is always available). The primary purpose for the membership fees is to handle our overhead expenses such as the fax line for the association, papers, stamps, advertising, attorney and accountant fees. We would also like to host a membership dinner this year and your fees would help with that. Anyone with an interest in thoroughbred racing and breeding, we would love to have you join in on this worthy cause. We also have affiliate memberships available to those who wish to support our efforts that do not participate in breeding or racing. As a member, you will have a voting right to help shape this organization.
Classifieds: Due to website maintenance demands to host the classifieds section, we will no longer be offering this feature. You may want to try some other wonderful sites such as www.equineline.com, www.thoroughlybred.com, and www.salesring.com. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Stallion Directory: The stallion directory will now be limited to listing that are from resident stallions that participate in the nomination for ATBRA. You get a complete statistics page with photos and the progeny of your foal will be eligible for our sponsored races for the low nomination fee of 250.00 so please sign your stallions up.
PLEASE forward this along to your thoroughbred friends.
