Taking a brief step away from the race track, Episode 3 “Diamond in the Rough” features the world-famous Keeneland Sale. While some of the wealthiest and most prestigious owners in the world are looking for the next World Champions, others seek out whatever cut of diamond suits their stable - and that they can afford. The ultimate dream? To find a Champion.
Jeff Bloom (buyer, seller, bloodstock agent) walks through the grounds of the Keeneland Sale doing research on horses that he thinks not only fit his budget, but that may have untapped potential, like his superstar filly Midnight Bisou.
Enter Carson Kressley, an equestrian, avid horse fan and Breeders’ Cup Ambassador. Carson takes a road trip to Lexington to visit a few former champs including 2018 Breeders’ Cup Classic Champion, Accelerate, and legendary fan favorite, Zenyatta. Carson meets with Bill Farish of Lane’s End Farm, and they discuss the business of horse breeding and how today’s Breeders’ Cup Champs can spell millions of dollars in stallion fees.
Back at Keeneland, Billy Koch and Gary Fenton talk about their syndicate Little Red Feather which gives anyone an opportunity to experience the excitement of owning a racehorse through syndicated ownership.
Gray and Brian Lister, owners of Ashview Farm, offer a sneak peek into the world of selling horses at the Keeneland Sale. They reveal that they feel as much stress as buyers since the horses they sell keep their operation going. When one of their big horses goes through the sale ring, the result is a surprise.
