D'AMATO TRAINEES BACK ON GRASS FOR BIG DEL MAR WEEKENDBy Jeremy Balant @BH_JBalan

There's a common thread in three of Phil D'Amato's older grass horses running in stakes on TVG Pacific

Classic (G1) weekend at Del Mar.All three have dabbled, with varying degrees of

success, on the dirt.In the Del Mar Handicap Presented by The Japan

Racing Association (G2T) Aug. 19, D'Amato has three entrants—including last-out Eddie Read Stakes (G2T) winner Hunt—but one has particularly shown an affinity for the Del Mar grass during his 44-race career.

Michael House's Big John B is the only runner in a 13-horse field that has multiple wins on the Del Mar turf. The two-time winner of the 1 3/8-mile Del Mar Handicap (2014 and 2015) has three wins overall from four starts

on the lawn at the seaside racetrack, and his only loss was a second-place finish to multiple grade 1 winner The Pizza Man in the 2015 Hollywood Turf Cup (G2T).

But the 8-year-old Hard Spun gelding hasn't competed in a graded turf race at Del Mar since the Hollywood Turf Cup, and hasn't competed in a graded turf race since the San Luis Rey (G2T) in March of 2016 at Santa Anita Park.

Instead, Big John B has been competing in longer dirt races. He won the 2016 Tokyo City Cup Stakes (G3) at Santa Anita, ran second by a neck to grade 1 winner Hard Aces in the 2017 edition of that race, and was a far-back sixth in both the Gold Cup at Santa Anita Stakes (G1) and Cougar II Handicap (G3) July 26.

D'Amato didn't make a concerted effort to keep Big John B on the dirt, but for a horse who likes longer distances and has performed well on both surfaces, that's just the way things worked out in recent starts.

"It's a huge advantage (that he's been successful on the Del Mar turf)," D'Amato said. "Big John B won the Del Mar Handicap in the past and he's trying to regain his form of old, but he's still training like he has some good races in him, even at 8.

"You take a shot, and the timing was better to run in those (dirt) races. It didn't work out all the time, but the last race at Del Mar was early in the meet, and even a horse like Arrogate detested the dirt. Big John B didn't like it, either. Big closers packed it up at the quarter pole."

A day later, Aug. 20, D'Amato has a pair in for the Del Mar Mile Handicap (G2T), which features grade 1 grass winner Midnight Storm and grade 2 turf victor Vyjack.

Midnight Storm, who has five wins from six starts on the Del Mar turf, including four graded wins, hasn't raced on grass since a hard-trying third in the Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T) at Santa Anita Nov. 5. But late in 2016 and early in 2017, it appeared D'Amato might have a newfound force in the handicap division

on the dirt when the 6-year-old son of Pioneerof the Nile won the Native Diver Stakes (G3) by 7 3/4 lengths and the San Pasqual Stakes (G2) by 1 1/4 lengths.

But from there the water seemed to get a little too deep for Midnight Storm. There was nothing wrong with a close second to Shaman Ghost in the Santa Anita Handicap Presented by San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino (G1), but he came in third at odds of 1-2 in the Oaklawn Handicap (G2) and fourth in the Gold Cup at Santa Anita May 27 before D'Amato freshened him up for a return to the green.

With an eye on the Breeders' Cup at Del Mar, and horses with the class of Arrogate and Gun Runner likely to opt for the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), the idea to go in another direction for Midnight Storm was welcome.

"In terms of Breeders' Cup, when you see the body of Arrogate's work and just knowing how the Pacific Classic and Breeders' Cup Classic are going to potentially turn out, we decided to go on the grass, where we know he's just a different horse, especially at Del Mar," D'Amato said. "So we'll shoot for the Breeders' Cup Mile or the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (both G1)."

D'Amato ran Pick Six Racing's Vyjack in the Las Vegas Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile Nov. 4, when he finished seventh following a score in the City of Hope Mile

Stakes (G2T) a month earlier at Santa Anita.

D'Amato's willingness to take chances can cut both ways, and he credits his owners for understanding that each risk to try a new dimension is just that—a risk.

"In order to have success in this game, you have to be able to take shots," the trainer said. "Luckily I have owners that know sometimes it's going to work out—a great example is Ransom the Moon, a synthetic and grass horse who took to the dirt (to win the Kona Gold (G2) and Bing Crosby (G1) in 2017)—but sometimes it's not going to work out."

THROAT SURGERY FORCES SHAMAN GHOST TO SKIP WOODWARDBy BloodHorse Staff

Multiple grade 1 winner Shaman Ghost will under-go throat surgery, which will prevent him from

competing in the $750,000 Woodward Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course Sept. 2, trainer Jimmy Jerkens said Aug. 17.

Jerkens said the 2016 Woodward winner "was making a little bit of a noise that we didn't like, and we investigated it and it needs to be addressed. That doesn't always help—the surgery—but we certainly have to try it."

Shaman Ghost will have the surgery Aug. 21 at Cornell Ruffian Equine Specialists in Elmont, N.Y.

Jerkens did not give a timetable for when the 5-year-old son of Ghostzapper will return.

Shaman Ghost scored his second top-level win in the Santa Anita Handicap Presented by San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino (G1) March 11. He started the year off with a runner-up finish in the Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1) to Arrogate at Gulfstream Park Jan. 28. He won the Pimlico Special Handicap (G3) May

19, and in his last start, he finished second to Keen Ice in the Suburban Stakes (G2) at Belmont Park July 8.

The Stronach Stables' homebred has earned more than $3.8 million in his career, with a record of 8-3-2 from 17 starts. BH

CHINA RACING CLUB FESTIVAL TO FEATURE FOUR RACESBy Bob Kieckhefer

The China Horse Club's annual cultural festival Aug. 19-20 in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, mixes a celebra-

tion for CHC members, a bit of racing, and a message of international unity.

The festival has developed a broad swath of support from racing jurisdictions, sales houses, and other racing entities as it enters its sixth year. Organizers hope that support will translate into a brighter future for racing in mainland China. This year's lineup features four races with a cast of riders from around the globe.

It will be the second festival staged in Ordos, located in the grasslands of the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia, a horse-friendly area where, last year, some 20,000 people packed the Yiqi Racecourse grandstand to watch races and festivities that also were streamed live to more than one million people worldwide, according to CHC estimates.

CHC founder and chairman Teo Ah Khing describes the China Equine Cultural Festival theme, "Bringing the World to China, China to the World," as an opportunity to bring his club's members together in a common setting to celebrate local heritage and to

demonstrate grass-roots support for the expansion of racing in China to the Chinese authorities.

"The CECF was created to be a crucible for people of different cultures and backgrounds to come together. It is a natural platform that continues to promote exchanges in business, in racing, in lifestyle, and more," said Teo, who also is chairman of event organizer Inner Mongolia Desert Star Horse Industries.

CHC's supporters or partnersinclude Goffs and Irish Thoroughbred Marketing from Ireland, Inglis and Magic Millions from Australia, Keeneland from the United States, New Zealand Bloodstock, and Tattersalls from the United Kingdom.

"More than 60 different individuals and organizations have thrown their considerable support behind the CECF since it began and the support of this year's leading riders Daniel Moor, Sherman Brown, Alexander Ivanskoy ,and Sheldon Rodrigo lifts the tally of international riders to compete at the CECF to 20," Teo said.

Britain's Anglo Hibernian Bloodstock Insurance Aug. 14 was announced as title sponsor for one of the festival's four races, the Anglo Hibernian CECF International Breeders' Cup, a 1,000-meter sprint over the sand track at Yiqi Racecourse.

"Anglo Hibernian has consistently marked itself as virtuous and professional and an ideal partner for aspiring Chinese racehorse owners," said Eden Harrington, spokesman for the organizing committee of the 2017 CECF Ordos.

While the annual appearance of ranking international jockeys lends credence, the races themselves are of secondary importance to the event, seen primarily as an opportunity for CHC to bring home to its members the value of their investment.

That value equation has escalated noticeably this year as horses owned by CHC, in whole or in partnership, have had notable success worldwide, including victory in the Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1) by the Bob Baffert-trained Abel Tasman. The Quality Road filly's breeder, Clearsky Farms, remains as a part owner.

CHC also participates in ownerships, among others, with WinStar Farm, which has been an active participant in past editions of the CECF.

Teo hopes the success of the CECF will open the eyes of the Chinese government to the potential for commercial racing in China. While race meetings currently exist in several jurisdictions around the mainland, they remain low key in the absence of wagering opportunities. Teo said the involvement of major players from around the world helps to bolster recognition of the sport's potential.

"The result of their support in previous years is being seen now, as more and more Chinese buy into Thoroughbreds and participate in the sport," he said. "And the result of their support given this year will play out in the coming years."

CHC, in addition to its efforts in mainland China and horse ownership throughout the world, also provides members "lifestyle" opportunities, including access to luxury facilities in Australia and Switzerland. CHC also is building a track as part of a planned expansive "Pearl of the Caribbean" development on the island of Saint Lucia.

"The success the China Horse Club is having on the international scene has only been possible because of the CECF," Teo said. "When (CHC members) see the international community coming to support them in China, they are certainly appreciative." BH

TOWER OF TEXAS STANDS TALL IN PLAY THE KING STAKESBy Julie Witt

Eight turf sprinters will line up to contest Wood-bine's $175,000 Play the King Stakes (G2T) Aug.

19. The seven-furlong race is headlined by highweight Tower of Texas, who will carry 123 pounds and looks to improve off his second-place finish in the 2016 edition of the race.

The 6-year-old Ontario-bred Street Sense gelding is conditioned by Roger Attfield for Thomas Van Meter II and Scott Dilworth. He is coming off a third-place effort in the King Edward Stakes (G2T) at Woodbine July 2, where he closed strongly despite being hung wide on the turn to miss victory by half a length.

Tower of Texas' only other start in 2017 was a win in the seven-furlong Connaught Cup Stakes (G2T), also at Woodbine June 3.

He will break from post 5 under jockey Eurico Rosa

Da Silva in the Play the King.Bred by Anderson Farms and Rod Ferguson, Tower

of Texas is out of 2015 Canadian Broodmare of the Year Rare Opportunity, and was a finalist for the Sovereign Award for 2016 champion male sprinter.

Hootenanny, winner of the 2014 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T), again will join Tower of Texas in the starting gate, stepping into stall 8.

The 5-year-old son of Quality Road finished second by a head to Go Bro in the King Edward, edging Tower of Texas for the runner-up spot. Saddled by trainer Wesley Ward, Hootenanny will carry 117 pounds. Jesse Campbell will have the mount for the first time and fly the colors of owners Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier, and Michael Tabor.

Calgary Cat, who took home the Sovereign Award in 2014 for champion Canadian sprinter, is making his fourth start of the year after finishing second last time out July 2 in the Highlander Stakes (G2T) at Woodbine over six furlongs. The 7-year-old gelded son of Street

Cry is the oldest horse in the field and is trained by Kevin Attard for Stephen Chesney and Cory Hoffman. Calgary Cat will break from post 6 and will be ridden by Luis Conteras.

Glenville Gardens will look for his second straight win, off an allowance-optional claiming victory at Woodbine July 22. The Woodbine specialist won last year's renewal of the Play the King Stakes and will break from post 4. He will be ridden by Gary Boulanger and is trained by Sid Attard for owner Janice Attard. BH

MCPEEK SEEKS ELLIS JUVENILE, DEBUTANTE SWEEPBy BloodHorse Staff

Trainer Kenny McPeek took both of Churchill Downs'

closing-night stakes for 2-year-olds with the colt Ten City and the filly Sunny Skies and now will shoot for a sweep repeat in the $75,000 Ellis Park Juvenile Stakes and Ellis Park Debutante Stakes Aug. 20.

Ten City, winner of the June 30 Bashford Manor Stakes (G3), is the anticipated favorite in the seven-furlong Juvenile, which attracted a capacity field of 12 at Ellis Park. Sunny Skies, winner of the Debutante Stakes, could also be favored in the Ellis Park Debutante, for which there are 13 entries.

McPeek originally planned to train his duo of bombastic babies up to Churchill's grade 3 Iroquois Stakes and Pocahontas Stakes (G2) Sept. 16, both 1 1/16-mile races that are part of the Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" Challenge Series. The two youngsters forced their trainer to move up their next outings, however, as each impressed during their morning routines.

"They've been working together and been doing really well," McPeek said from Saratoga Race Course. "My assistant there at Keeneland said, 'I don't know if I can sit on these horses for another month.' We collectively decided it would just be best to run them. We still have a month coming back to the Churchill races and it looks like both horses have a pretty good chance.

"Anything can happen in a horse race. We all know that. I mean, last year I was the favorite in the Ellis

Park Juvenile with (third place) Honor Thy Father, and Lookin At Lee beat me. Lookin At Lee goes on and places in some of the Triple Crown races."

Still, McPeek says Ten City "might be one of the best I've ever had my hands on" and uses the word "special" to describe Normandy Farm's Sunny Skies, a daughter of champion Animal Kingdom who won her debut at Keeneland by nine lengths before she took the Churchill stakes.

"We're fortunate," McPeek said. "We get a lot of young horses every spring, and some years we have

a better group than others. This seems like an exceptional group. Someone questioned me on Twitter why wouldn't you run Ten City in the (grade 1) Hopeful? I just felt like keeping him at home. He's in his routine. The same guy gets on him. Keeping those two, especially, around Kentucky just seemed to be the best for them right now."

Part of that, he admits, is because the ultimate objective for Ten City is the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) and for Sunny Skies, the Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1) back at Churchill. BH

MORE THAN EVER, INTEGRITY NEEDED IN EVERY STATEt @BH_FAngst

As money generated by added-gaming has boosted purses and breeder funds through-

out the country, it has become more important than ever for racing to maintain integrity.

Jockey Club chairman Stuart Janney III made that point during his closing remarks at the Round Table on Matters Pertaining to Racing Aug. 13 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. He noted that a scandal anywhere in the country can impact how racing is viewed and threaten the significant commitment state governments have made to the sport.

Janney cited the July conviction in federal court of Pennsylvania-based trainer Murray Rojas on 14 counts of misbranding drugs. Testimony at that trial said use of illegal, race-day medication was commonplace.

"It gives all of racing a black eye," Janney said. "It jeopardizes our share of slots revenue in all states. It arouses animal welfare groups nationally, as it should. It suggests strongly that similar problems lurk in many other jurisdictions."

When pari-mutuel wagering was the sole source of purse money, integrity in horse racing was needed to ensure bettors' trust in the product. That need for integrity still exists, but the sport today also relies on some $400 million in purse funding, and another $64 million in breeder funds, generated by other forms of gaming as documented in this week's BloodHorse Magazine.

That $464 million undergoes review by state lawmakers. Should a lawmaker in Louisiana—perhaps one undecided about horse racing and breeding—read about Pennsylvania's problems; it could negatively impact their opinion of the sport.

State commitments to racing most assuredly are significant. The money generated for purses in the most recent available calendar or fiscal years in states that commit money from added gaming

to the racing industry would account for about 37% of U.S. Thoroughbred purses, if applied to the 2016 purse total. This percentage actually is higher as it doesn't include money committed to breeder funds ultimately awarded as purses.

In short, racing most assuredly is in a partnership with state government. And Janney noted that when lawmakers examine that partnership, a scandal in another state could impact their decision making.

"And to anyone sitting comfortably in this room thinking Pennsylvania's problems are not yours, I would say: Forget it. We own this problem," Janney said in his closing remarks at the Round Table.

When it comes to drug testing and medication issues, the sport can't afford a weak link. It's just one reason the Jockey Club supports the United States Anti-Doping Agency overseeing the sport's drug testing and medication policies. The sport needs top, uniform oversight in every state because racing's problems don't recognize state borders. BH

BREEDERS' STAKES IS ROUND TWO FOR COOL CATOMINEBy BloodHorse Staff

While there won't be a Canadian Triple Crown champion this year, Prince of Wales Stakes

winner Cool Catomine will vie for his second jewel of the series in the $400,000 Breeders' Stakes (G3T), the third leg of the Canadian Triple Crown in the eighth race at Woodbine Aug. 20.

The 1 1/2-mile event for 3-year-olds, run on the E.P. Taylor Turf Course, drew a field of 10 of Ontario-breds, including Queen's Plate Stakes runners Channel Maker and King and His Court, as well as Prince of Wales Stakes fourth-place finisher Woodbridge.

Owned by Jack of Hearts Racing and J.R. Racing Stable, Cool Catomine has not yet raced on the turf, but an Aug. 9 work on the surface showed trainer John Ross that the supplemental entry is a contender.

"The way he's training and what he's doing right

now, he's on top of his game again," Ross said. "He came out of the Prince of Wales a very happy horse, so these are all good things. We did have (a) turf work and that helped me make my decision to go forward, so that's our plan right now."

Cool Catomine will be ridden by Luis Contreras from the outside post.

Contreras will aim for his own personal sweep of the Triple Crown races in the Breeders' Stakes after winning this year's Queen's Plate with filly Holy Helena. It's a feat the jockey also accomplished in 2011, with Queen's Plate champion Inglorious and Pender Harbour, who won the Prince of Wales and Breeders' Stakes.

Woodbine's leading trainer Mark Casse has a pair entered with recent stakes-placed Conquest Lemonraid and King and His Court, the 2016 Sovereign Award champion 2-year-old colt.

Gary Barber's Conquest Lemonraid is coming off a pair of second-place stakes finishes on the Woodbine turf in the July 2 Charlie Barley Stakes at one mile and the Toronto Cup Stakes at 1 1/8 miles July 23.

King and His Court finished third behind his stablemate in his first turf test this year, last time out in the Toronto Cup.

Owned by Barber and the Wachtel Stable, the Court Vision gelding is the richest of the contenders with more than $337,000 in earnings. His last victory was in the Wando Stakes at Woodbine May 7.

Chiefswood Stable homebred Final Copy, one of three Breeders' Stakes entries for trainer Roger Attfield, enters off a victory in the Toronto Cup. The grey Malibu Moon gelding is riding a three-race win streak over the Woodbine turf course.

Major Eclipse was also a turf winner last time out for Attfield and Chiefswood Stable, breaking his maiden in his fourth start July 16 at Woodbine in a 1 1/16-mile maiden special weight race.

William Werner's chestnut colt Glencairn is Attfield's third contender. While he has made just one turf start, the Candy Ride colt has improved with each effort.

Channel Maker, trained by Bill Mott for Joey Gee Thoroughbreds, Wachtel Stable, and Gary Barber,

placed in a pair graded stakes and earned his only win on the Woodbine turf in last year's Vandal Stakes going 6 1/2 furlongs on the turf. Most recently, Channel Maker finished fourth in the Queen's Plate July 2.

In the sixth race Sunday, six older horses will contest the $175,000 Sky Classic Stakes (G2T) going 1 3/8 miles on the turf.

Dragon Bay has been made the highweight of the group off his win in the Nijinsky Stakes (G2T) at Woodbine July 29. Carrying 123 pounds, he will be giving four to six pounds to the rest of the field

Trained by Stuart Simon, the 4-year-old Parading gelding defeated Can'thelpbelieving and Pumpkin Rumble, second and third respectively, in the Nijinsky July 29. Both return to try and turn the tables.

Kevin Attard trains both Pumpkin Rumble and the only filly entered in the Sky Classic, Starship Jubilee. The Indy Wind 4-year-old filly has won her last five starts. Her most recent effort resulted in a dead heat with Rainha Da Bateria in the Dance Smartly Stakes (G2T) at Woodbine July 2.

"We've been having kind of a hard time finding a spot for her so this race is kind of a 'Plan C' really, but it's local, she doesn't have to ship anywhere, and she'll get (a weight advantage) because she's running against the boys," Attard said. "The 1 3/8 miles might be a little bit farther than she wants to go—I think that's going to be her biggest hurdle—so we're just going to try to ride her accordingly and hope she can prevail." BH

SHIPPER DRAWS INTRIGUE TO CANADIAN DERBYBy Evan Hammondst @BH_EHammonds

Northlands Park's marquee race, the $150,000 Canadian Derby (G3), drew a field of eight for

the 1 3/8-mile race Aug. 19, with Chief Know It All, a $100,000 claim out of his last start June 30 at Churchill Downs, the 2-1 second-choice on the morning-line odds.

Chief Know It All, a 3-year-old son of Flashy Bull, has been shipped some 1,900 miles to western Canada for his shot at a Derby.

Trained by Robertino Diodoro, Chief Know It All races for Rollingson Racing Stables, Randy Howg, Rick Wiest, and Clayton Weist. The gray/roan colt has won three of 10 starts and last won an allowance optional claiming race at Keeneland back in April for trainer Brad Cox and Lucky Seven Stable. Chief Know It All did take a shot at stakes company, finishing 10th to One Liner in Oaklawn Park's Southwest Stakes (G3) in late February.

He prepped for his trek at Canterbury Park in Minnesota and turned a :48.20 four-furlong move over the local strip Aug. 12. Rico Walcott, the meet's runaway leader, has the call.

Defending the home team is Riversedge Racing Stables' Trooper John. The son of Colonel John is riding a five-race win streak including a 9 1/2-length blowout out last time out in the 1 1/16-mile Count Lathum Handicap.

Bred in Pennsylvania by Smart Angle, Trooper John is out of the stakes-placed mare Shouldn't We All, by

Woodman. The Tim Rycroft-trained bay has five wins from eight starts at Northlands, and will be ridden by Keishan Balgobin. Breaking from post 2, the gelding is the 8-5 morning-line favorite.

Emerald Downs-based Aqua Frio, winner of the Seattle Slew Stakes July 2 and second last time out in the Emerald Derby, is the 3-1 morning-line third choice. From the second crop of hot sire Uncle Mo, Peter Redekop's Aqua Frio makes his Northlands debut off a 3-7-1 mark from 12 career outings. BH

CALL FOR NEW OWNER OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONSBy BloodHorse Staff

OwnerView announced Aug. 17 that it is accepting nomina-

tions for the 2017 new owner of the year award presented by Fasig-Tip-ton, which will honor a new Thor-oughbred owner who has been successful in the sport and has had a positive impact on the industry.

The deadline for nominations is Sept. 15. The award will be presented at the Thoroughbred Owner Conference at Del Mar, scheduled to be held Oct. 30-Nov. 1, during the week leading up to the 34th running of the Breeders' Cup Championships.

Nominees for the new owner of the year award must have owned Thoroughbreds for less than four years, have an interest in a horse at the time it won a stakes race in the past 12 months, and have a verifiable owner's license in 2017.

Anyone, including current owners, can nominate an owner who meets the criteria for the award. Thoroughbred performance as well as a nominee's promotion of the sport will also be considered. A selection committee that includes industry personnel and established owners will choose the winner.

Sol Kumin and LNJ Foxwoods were awarded the respective

2015 and 2016 new owner of the year awards.

"The annual Thoroughbred Owner Conference celebrates Thoroughbred ownership, so it is the perfect venue to present such an award," said Gary Falter,

project manager for OwnerView.To submit a nomination,

contact Falter at (859) 224-2803 or gfalter@jockeyclub.com. BH

KEENELAND SPORTING ART AUCTION SET FOR NOV. 19By BloodHorse Staff

The 2017 Sporting Art Auction, a collaboration be-tween Keeneland Association and Cross Gate Gal-

lery of Lexington, will be held Nov. 19 in the Keeneland Sales Pavilion. The format of this year's auction has changed from an evening to an early afternoon event beginning at 2 p.m. ET.

This year marks the fifth Sporting Art Auction, which will feature 175 high-quality lots representing a mix of fine sporting art, American paintings, and sculpture from renowned masters as well as talented new artists.

Among the notable pieces cataloged this year are Heading Home, a signed 30" x 40" oil on canvas by Andre Pater; A Morning's Work, Newmarket Heath, a signed 151/4 x 281/4 oil on canvas by Sir Alfred Munnings; and Jocks Room Colors, a stunning 40" x 30" oil on canvas by LeRoy Neiman.

The auction also will feature works by such acclaimed artists as Henry Stull and John Frederick Herring Jr., and contemporaries Larry Wheeler, Peter Howell, Richard Stone Reeves, and Quang Ho.

The Sporting Art Auction catalog will be available at http://www.thesportingartauction.com and in print

beginning in September. As in previous years, artwork will be on exhibit in the Keeneland sales pavilion during the September yearling sale, which opens Sept. 11, through the November auction.

In keeping with Keeneland's mission, the Association's portion of the auction proceeds will benefit its non-profit initiatives, including the Keeneland Library Foundation. BH
