Jockeys and Jeans will hold its annual online sale beginning on Starquine.com Wednesday, Jan. 16 at 8:00 p.m. and ending Friday, Jan. 18 at 8:00 p.m.
But for the first time, Jockeys and Jeans is asking stallion season owners/syndicates and managers to designate one or more seasons to popular stallions as non-guaranteed, or as is often the case when a non-guaranteed season is already being sold, sell it as private treaty as sellers ordinarily do and donate all or a percentage of that season price to PDJF.
The percentage of the season donated as well as the amount donated will only be disclosed if the syndicate or farm allows. The price of the season itself remains between seller and buyer.
“We've learned that some stallion syndicates are not allowed to offer seasons at auction and others want the sale prices of their stallion seasons kept private,” Jockeys and Jeans President Barry Pearl said. “But, of course we will heavily advertise the farms and stallions who take part, and we will publically thank them. Our fundraising efforts have drawn wide support in the horse racing community and we are convinced season buyers will give those designated stallions extra considerations knowing the season owners are supporting Fallen Jockeys.”
