Lexington, KY — While the first 108 yearling buyers at the upcoming Lexington Selected 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 Selected Yearling Sale Company.

The sale begins Monday (Oct. 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 Hunterton 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 co-author Bob 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.

The book features many action photographs of Meadow Skipper during his racing career and his life as the most prominent stallion in the history of the sport since Rysdyk’s Hambletonian back in the 1850s.

Tate Publishing has issued Meadow Skipper, The Untold Story, and the book can be purchased on their website at this link.

The actual Lexington Selected Yearling Sales catalog has been mailed, and it’s available for download on the Equineline app and website, and videos have been posted.
