Old Friends will host a week-long celebration of GI Kentucky Derby Big Brown from Oct. 14-18. The event begins with an online silent auction which opened Monday and concludes Friday with a party at the farm with the silent auction closing and a live auction. Visitors will be able to meet the 2008 Kentucky Derby winners, as well as two other new arrivals to the farm: Cozmic One, first-born foal of Zenyatta; and multiple grade winner Mission Impazible.
The silent auction ends Friday at 5:15 p.m. EST. All bidders, whether at the event or not, will have to register to bid. To register and bid on the online auction, go to: https://givebutter.com/c/jib8Qw/auction.
The live auction will include halters worn by Big Brown, Cozmic One, Lava Man, I'll Have Another, Channel Maker, Silver Charm, and Unbridled's Song. Each halter has a Certificate of Authenticity. To obtain absentee bidding information, email horses@oldfriendsequine.org.
Friday's activities also include Line Dancing (and lessons) with the Harrison County Boot Stompers, mini tours of the farm, and a photo booth. Trindy's Food Truck will be on site with food available for purchase.
