It’s a racing highlight that equestrians and sporting art enthusiasts look forward to every year. Keeneland Association and Cross Gate Gallery continue their collaboration by offering the 13th annual Sporting Art Auction on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 4 p.m. ET at the Keeneland Sales Pavilion.

When the Breeders’ Cup lands in San Diego at Del Mar, it’s not just about the thunder of hooves or the photo finishes. It’s about fashion. Men’s fashion.

Del Mar brings its own twist to this classic tradition of horse racing. This isn’t the formality of Ascot or the pomp of Churchill Downs. This is California cool meets racing royalty. It’s the salt air, the sunshine, and the sartorial statement that says: I came to win, and I dress like it.

The ongoing Keeneland September yearling sale in Lexington, Ky., is the premier event each year in the Thoroughbred world for those in search of future superstar racehorses. It’s a 12-day-long event from Sept. 8-20 with roughly 4,700 horses cataloged and it offers owners many opportunities to test their skill at identifying next-gen standouts while backing those opinions up with dump trucks filled with dollars.

One of the most influential equine novels is Walter Farley’s 1941 classic “The Black Stallion,” which transports readers into the story of young Alec Ramsey and his adventures with a magnificent black Arabian stallion. It took readers from being shipwrecked to horse racing. In 1953, Marjorie Burger of the New York Times stated, “The Black Stallion is about the most famous fictional horse of the century.”
