Overview of the TABA Sale
(Scroll down for 2007 Sale Results!)
The majority of the TABA board feels strongly that the Arabian racing industry in Texas and the nation needs an annual Arabian racehorse auction to facilitate in creating and maintaining a healthy market.
The greatest success of the TABA Sale is bringing new and first-time Arabian racehorse owners into Texas. New owners have increased the numbers of racing Arabians in Texas which translated into fuller fields and more races. This is due to the fact the sale has produced good, and even great, racehorses.
The TABA Sale offers a very limited number of horses, and out of the sales have come many notable champions. For instance Royale Fanfare became a two-time Darley nominee as she earned over $165,000. 2005's star auction graduate, Nordik Star, has earned well over $100,000 to date plus two Darley nominations. And one of last year's graduates, NC Casey Jones has just earned top honors as a Darley nominee, one of the Top Five 3-Year-Old colts/geldings in the U.S. The TABA Sale has produced an astounding 85+% money earners and over 20% stakes winners.
The mission of the auction will always be to offer quality Arabian racebred horses to the discerning buyer in a disciplined and well-executed live auction format.
While it is a goal of the TABA auction to offer horses at a good value to the buyer, it is also the mission of the TABA auction to attract a significant number of quality buyers to fairly support a good market price for the seller.
TABA looks forward to its not-for-profit Arabian racehorse sale each year, and with it, renewing its successful promotion of Texas horse racing. The consignor is rewarded for placing a good value in a new owner's hands who will in turn help maintain full fields and produce good handles that will increase purses. All of us in racing contribute to this cycle. Participate in the TABA Auction and have some fun with us in Texas Arabian racing. Successful auctions mean we all win.
