Note - The auction lots begin closing at 8 p.m. Eastern Sunday March 7th. Each lot closes 1 minute after the lot before. Each lot is set to finish with a Soft Close - which means that if a bid is placed on a stallion in the last 2 minutes of the auction, the time on that lot will extend by another 2 minutes. This is to discourage automated sniper programs, which swoop in with a bid in the last seconds of an auction, faster than human reaction time.

The program will bid only up as far as it has to to keep you the high bidder - just like in Ebay. Other bidders won't see your maximum bid.
