WVTBA Online Stallion-Season Auction Feb 14-18 Offers Over 45 Seasons

More than 45 stallion seasons will be available when the West Virginia Thoroughbred Breeders Association stages two online auctions Feb 14-18, giving regional breeders and mare owners a concentrated window to secure matings from West Virginia, Mid-Atlantic and Kentucky-based sires. The association said the split-auction format is designed to accommodate the breadth of offerings and make bidding manageable for buyers across time zones and breeding programs.

West Virginia stallions listed among the offerings include Aldrin, Barbados, Bullsbay, Cancun, Candygram, Contra Mundum, Curlin's Honor, Dark Canyon, Juba, Last Print, Load to Fire, Master Rick, Mr. Monomoy, My Prankster, Redirect, Simovic, Spiritus Invictus and Uncle Berley. Kentucky stallions on the catalog excerpt include Angel of Empire, Bee Jersey, Charge It, Country House, Dialed In, Dr. Schivel, Drain the Clock, Flameaway, Gufo, Modernist, Proxy, Sacred Life, Senor Buscador, Shirl's Speight, Tacitus, Tale of Ekati and Tapit Trice. My Prankster is singled out in prior notices as a graded-stakes-winning son of Into Mischief; several names such as Juba, Bullsbay, Redirect and My Prankster have appeared in earlier auctions, underscoring recurring demand for certain regional bloodlines.

Auction mechanics for the 2026 event follow the WVTBA announcement that two separate online catalogs will be used to list and sell the seasons. Historical auction materials show that proceeds from donated stallions have supported WVTBA operations and programs and that some seasons in past cycles were offered with no reserve above a minimum opening bid; bidders are advised to confirm reserve status, payment deadlines and platform-specific terms for the current auctions before placing bids. The association pointed to app-based access options in prior communications; bidders who need platform help may use password support numbers that have served past auctions: 855-272-3905 or 866-652-7789.

The WVTBA frames the event within its mission: "The West Virginia Thoroughbred Breeders Association is a non-profit corporation that was founded in 1968 with the purpose to foster and promote the thoroughbred breeding and racing industries in West Virginia." The association lists a board of directors including Cynthia McKee, Mary Sell, Judy Grams, Tim Collins and others, and it maintains links to regional racing and aftercare resources such as Aiken Equine Rescue, Saratoga WarHorse Foundation, Retired Racehorse Project and Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue.

For bidders and media, WVTBA contact points are phone 1-304-728-6868 and email wvbreeders@gmail.com. With more than 45 seasons concentrated into a single mid-February online window, the auction shapes mating plans for the 2026 breeding season, funnels revenue back into state breeding programs and helps smaller stables and regional stallions maintain visibility against Kentucky heavyweights.
