Behind every win, every trophy, and every photo finish, horse racing is built on sacrifice, a deep love for the animal, and a shared belief that this sport can leave a meaningful impact on society. That spirit will be on full display on Sunday, June 29, when the Online Stallion Service Auction in benefit of the Proyecto E Foundation takes place, with early bidding opening Thursday the 26th. Conducted by (Arg) Sales and beginning at 6 p.m. local time, the sale offers the racing community a unique opportunity to contribute directly to educational and emotional support for vulnerable children and families.

Spearheaded by Silvestre Blousson of Haras La Nora and a member of Proyecto E’s board, and supported by a distinguished group of breeders and stud farms, the initiative brings together the values of the sport with the mission of building a more equitable future. Thoroughbred breeding is about dreams, passion, and investment—but through this auction, it also becomes a powerful engine for social change. The motto? “Passion for racing, committed to education.”

A total of 13 stallions will be on offer, allowing breeders to improve the genetic profile of their future foals while directly supporting Proyecto E’s programs. The roster includes some of Argentina’s most prominent sires: Cosmic Trigger (Lizard Island), Gouverneur Morris (Constitution), Strategos (Zensational), Señor Candy (Candy Ride), Hi Happy (Pure Prize), Remote (Dansili), Angiolo (Grand Reward), Fortify (Distorted Humor), Ivar (Agnes Gold), Full Mast (Mizzen Mast), Cityscape (Selkirk), Mask (Tapit) and Treasure Beach (Galileo).

The generosity of leading operations—Abolengo, La Pasión, El Paraíso, Carampangue, Vacación, Firmamento, La Nora, Santa Inés, RDI, Gran Muñeca, La Valkiria, and La Providencia—made this effort possible, each donating seasons to offer a chance at hope, both on the racetrack and in the classroom.

Founded in San Antonio de Areco, Argentina’s heart of Thoroughbred breeding, Proyecto E is a nonprofit foundation focused on delivering academic support, emotional care, and structured learning spaces for children and families in vulnerable situations. Through workshops, psychological support, and educational monitoring, it seeks to empower young people to complete their education and break the cycle of poverty.

The June 29 auction will help hire more teachers, expand psychological and academic programs, and grow Proyecto E’s reach into more isolated communities—ensuring the sport can be a tool for transformation as well as triumph.

Because racing is passion. Racing is dreams. But it can also be about collective action, solidarity, and building a better tomorrow.

By linking pedigree with purpose, this event offers a chance to shape victories that go far beyond the racetrack—planting the seeds of a brighter future in every child, every classroom, and every story Proyecto E helps write.
