"Herb Likens, the president of the Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (ITOBA), credits three things for the boost in breeding interest: 1) A change in leadership in the Indiana Horse Racing Commission that “regained trust among our breeders that the program is going to stay stable”; 2) A “great working relationship” with Indiana Grand Race Course operator Centaur Gaming, and 3) Publicity efforts by the ITOBA to get the word out that the state’s Thoroughbred incentives are on the upswing."

June 9th, a great day to meet at the track for ITOBA Stallion Season Auction Stakes Races, Spring In-Training Sale Preview and so much more!
The selectivity of the Thoroughbred marketplace is a common refrain among the industry's major national auctions, but it also reaches into regional sales, where the impact can be even greater.
