On the weekend of Friday, July 26th and Saturday, July 27th, I went to Lexington, Kentucky to participate in the Kentucky Gold Classic, a sale of Kentucky-bred broodmares in foal. About 90 mares were consigned into the sale which occurred at the world famous Tattersalls. The event was amazing. It was great to see how an auction was run from the front office where the horse's registration and health papers, and ultimately no-sale or purchase agreement forms must be processed, to the auctioneers, to the concessionaires selling horse wares and history books, to behind the scenes in the stall aisleways where beautiful horses are prepared for the ring. Barbie and Tom hosted a truly elegant event.
