To everyone who sold with us, bought a horse, raised a hand, showed a horse, vetted for us, shod our horses, or helped us better the consignment in any way—thank you.

The South Point team was dealt a brutal hand trying to make up for Mike's sudden absence on the fly ahead of FT Saratoga and grieving his death during #KeeSept. The strength JM showed in guiding the consignment to multiple successful sales was truly commendable.

💯

🔹We have one more order of business to attend to... to celebrate Mike's life! 🍻 Please join us next Friday, October 1 at the Thoroughbred Club from 6:30-9 p.m.

🙏 Thank you Jacob!

🔹Mike scooped up Super Stock’s ½-sis Gal Factor well before he won the G1 Arkansas Derby. The colt goes for his 3rd Derby & Millionaire status in today’s G3 $400,000 Oklahoma Derby. 🔹Gal Factor sells with Arthur St. George this November! drf.com/news/super-sto…

🍻 Tonight, we raise a glass (or 2, or 3, or...) for Mike. We'll see you at the Thoroughbred Club, 6:30-9 pm.
