[Wandering Eyes]

Central Kentucky Riding for Hope (CKRH)'s 22nd annual 'Night of the Stars' Fundraiser takes place Saturday, June 21, at the Fasig-Tipton sales complex in Lexington.

Some 500 attendees are expected for the event, which will include dinner and drinks, a silent auction and a live auction in the same style as a Thoroughbred auction where the highest bidders will earn a sponsorship of CKRH participants and equine partners.

Bidding is now open for the silent and live auctions and may be accessed by clicking here. Some of the auction items available include:

 

• Halters from a group of popular Thoroughbreds, including American Pharoah, Gun Runner, Justify, Medaglia d'Oro, Rachel Alexandra, Serena's Song and Tapit;

 

• Meet and greet with the beloved Racing Hall of Famer Zenyatta, the winner of 19 consecutive races who earned $7.3 million, at Lane's End Farm;

 

• Painting of Horse of the Year Thoroughbred Cody's Wish by Lisa Palombo with proceeds beyond the reserve to be shared by CKRH and Angels Without Wings for the Cody's Wish Monument to be installed at the Kentucky Horse Park;

 

• A wide selection of Kentucky bourbon, including a set of eight bottles of Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey with stoppers that show each stride of a racehorse in action.

Tropical attire is suggested for attendees of 'Night of the Stars', which will feature island-inspired decor and appetizers, signature cocktails, live music, pony meet-and-greets and inspiring riding demonstrations.
