Like so many others in our world, the past two years have been challenging for the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. Not being able to hold an annual introductory gala in both 2020 and 2021 was extremely difficult. As a registered charity, the event serves as a major fundraising initiative every year and without these events it was more difficult to generate revenue.
Today, the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame, with the support of Standardbred and Thoroughbred stud farms in Canada and the US, is launching a very special Stallion Service auction for the benefit of the organization. The online auction offers breeding opportunities for more than 20 horses, including some of the biggest bulls of 2022. The “Continuing Hall of Fame Legacies Auction in Support of Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Famepays tribute to the work the CHRHF is doing to honor the best of Canadian horse racing, by breeding CHRHF member horses and horses with pedigree connections to CHRHF-induced horses.
The Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame would like to thank all breeders and stallion owners who have provided breeding products in support of this initiative.
Bids will be accepted by email only to admin@horseracinghalloffam.com from Wednesday 19th January and continuing through 25th January, with closing times for horses spread throughout the day. Details on breeding contracts, starting bids for each horse and auction conditions can be found at: www.horseracinghalloffame.com/2022stallionauction
