While the first 108 yearling buyers at the upcoming Lexington Select Yearling Sale may not be able to purchase a son or daughter of the world champion stallion Meadow Skipper, they will get the next best thing – a copy of the newly released book, ‘Meadow Skipper, The Untold Story.’
The unofficial autobiography on the great Meadow Skipper, written by Victoria M. Howard and Bob Marks, will be given to the first 108 yearling buyers at the prestigious sale, compliments of the Lexington Select Yearling Sale Company.
The sale begins Monday, October 5 at the Fasig-Tipton Sales Pavilion in Lexington.
Authors Howard and Marks will be at the sale the entire week starting Sunday at the sale preview day. Their booth will be located next to the Hunterdon Farms consignment and they will autograph each yearling buyer’s copy.
“This is a great thing that the co-sales managers, David Reid and Randy Manges, are doing,” said Marks. “Both Victoria and I will be at the sale starting this Sunday and signing the books for everyone that gets one.”
Meadow Skipper, The Untold Story, is an unofficial autobiography of the historical life story of the Standardbred world champion pacer, Meadow Skipper, as told in a unique fashion with commentary by the horse himself.
