Thoroughbreds, racing scenes, landscapes — and even a hippopotamus — are among the attractions at this year’s 14th Annual Sporting Art Auction. A collaboration between Lexington’s Cross Gate Gallery and the Keeneland Association, the auction brings together work by famous and beloved artists, carefully acquired and assembled by Cross Gate Gallery.

The Keeneland November breeding stock sale catalog was open in front of Torie Gladwell.

As she talked about Bacio, the homebred colt who had carried her and her husband, Jimbo, to the highest level of Thoroughbred racing, she was also studying photographs of horses, evaluating possibilities, and taking calls about a mare they were trying to sell.

This week on the Thoroughbred racing calendar is relatively light on graded stakes, with the marquee event – the Claiming Crown card showcasing claiming horses – occurring Saturday, Nov. 14, at Churchill Downs.

Tickets are on sale now for the 56th Annual Resolute Racing Eclipse Awards, which will be held on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2027, at The Breakers Palm Beach. Tickets to the black-tie event are available at the NTRA website. Eclipse Awards Finalists will be announced on Saturday, Jan. 2. Each Finalist will receive two seats complimentary courtesy of The Jockey Club. Ticket availability is limited and a full sellout is expected.

If you’ve opened this story you probably are interested in the Kentucky Derby but might not know a whole lot about horse racing or the Triple Crown. Never fear, America’s Best Racing is here to help.

The Kentucky Derby is the most-watched horse race of the year in the United States and is widely considered one of the most important sporting events in the country, having grown to become much more than just a horse race since Aristides won the first edition in 1875.
