Provincial Sales Stakes Eligibility

Canadian Sales Stakes Series Eligibility
Once all the Provincial Sales Stakes Eligibility has been met the following conditions apply:
Nomination
Nomination to an out of Province Sales Stakes (not in the Province where the Yearling sold) will be the responsibility of the owners who will pay $750 to nominate, $750 to enter and $1,000 to start. Note that in Ontario the difference between the listed nomination, entry and starting fee charged by WEG and the nomination, entry and starting fees charged per the above will be paid directly to the CTHS Ontario Division at the time of nomination. In addition, in the event that races are over subscribed, preference will be given to horses that passed through the Sale in the jurisdiction in which the Sales Stakes is being held. For example, CTHS Ontario Division Sales Graduates will have preference for the Sales Stakes races in Ontario.
Implementation
Canadian-Bred Yearlings passing through the CTHS Yearling Sales in 2018 and forward that meet the eligibility requirements above will be eligible to the Canadian Sales Stakes Series. The inclusion of Ontario commencing in 2018 does not affect the eligibility of Sales Graduates from previous years who will remain eligible for the Western Canadian Sales Stakes Series. For clarity, Sales Graduates from previous years who are eligible for the Western Sales Stakes Series are not eligible for the Sales Stakes in Ontario.
Sales Stakes Dates
Where possible, the CTHS Provincial Offices will work collaboratively to attempt to schedule the Sales Stakes in each Province so that we can eventually create a Series that allows owners to participate in the Sales Stakes in multiple Provinces.
NOTE 1: Sales Stakes Offered & Sales Stakes eligibility is determined by the Provincial CTHS offices and is subject to change at their direction.
NOTE 2: Canadian Sales Stakes Series Eligibility is determined by an agreement between all Provincial CTHS Boards and is subject to change at their discretion.
How it Works
- Create an account
- ·Register to bid
- Review horses up for auction, choose the horse you would like to bid on and simply bid by clicking the BID button. (We recommend setting your maximum bid and allow the auction to automatically bid for you. More details below.)
- If you are the successful bidder, the CTHS will contact you directly to arrange payment and provide contact details for the seller.
- If you get out bid, you do nothing more.
1. CREATE AN ACCOUNT
- Go to the auction site: www.auction.cthsont.com
- Click LOGIN
- Click CREATE ACCOUNT. Enter your name, email, create a password, tick the “I have read …” box and click CREATE ACCOUNT button. Please keep your username and password in a safe place. You are financially responsible for all bids placed by a user that is logged in with this username and password.
2. REGISTER TO BID
- Click LOGIN. Enter your username and password.
- Click REGISTER TO BID
- Verify your contact information is accurate. The CTHS will need to contact you if you are the successful bidder!
- Fill in credit card information. WE WILL NOT CHARGE YOUR CARD FOR ANY SUCCESSFUL BIDS. This process is used to verify our bidders identity only.
- Click the box next to “Agree to Terms & Conditions of Sale” and “I am 18 years of age or older”
- Click REGISTER.
Now you are ready to bid!
3. HOW TO BID
Always review your bid before hitting the BID button.
- Once bidding opens, click the BID button on the desired horse’s profile.
- “Next Bid” indicates what the next bid needs to be in order to be the next highest bidder. Bidding is set in increment amounts.
$1,000 - $3,000 = $250.00
$3,000 and up = $500.00
- If two bidders bid at the same time, the first bid that reaches the auction computer will be given the amount – the second bidder will be asked to bid the next available amount.
- Please review your bid BEFORE you click the BID button. CLICK ONCE to place a bid. Your bid will be visible the next time your page refreshes.
MAXIMUM BID OR AUTOMATIC BIDDING (Recommended)
- With automatic bidding you can enter your maximum bid, then sit back and watch. When you set your Maximum Bid, the auction automatically bids on your behalf up to your maximum bid, only if another bidder is bidding against you. Your maximum bid is kept confidential from other bidders.
- The system only bids on your behalf as necessary to keep you as the high bidder. If there are no opposing bidders, your bid will not advance.
- If another bidder has a higher maximum, you will be outbid.
- If the Lot closes for less than your maximum, that’s all you’ll have to pay.
- Placing a maximum bid keeps you from having to come back to re-bid every time another bid is placed.
- Using the single BID button will not be as quick as using the Automatic Bid.
- Due to slow internet connections, we cannot guarantee last second bids will get through every time. We strongly suggest utilizing the max/automatic bidding to ensure your bids are not delayed.
EXTENDED BIDDING
The auction will have a staggered close. If a bid is placed on a lot during the last minute on the time clock, the auction will go into extended bidding for that lot and another minute will be added to the clock to allow the under-bidder to respond. Bidding for that lot will not close until a minute passes without a bid being placed.
If no bid is placed on a lot during the last minute of the auction, that lot will close.
BUYER PAYMENT
After the auction has ended, you will be contacted by the CTHS to determine your method of payment:
- Cash
- Cheque payable to CTHS Ontario
- Credit Card (2.4% fee applies)
- Wire transfer (contact CTHS for details)
- Etransfer to [email protected]
