Fundraiser to Support Beloved Horseman Mark "Snake" Thompson



Lexington, KY - A fundraising event held Saturday evening at McCarthy’s Pub downtown, to support beloved Central Kentucky horseman Mark ‘Snake’ Thompson raised over $140,000. Thompson, a former jockeys’ valet who most recently was lead show man at Thoroughbred sales, is recovering from a debilitating stroke suffered just before last year’s Keeneland November sale.   Among the auction items available were halters from all three 2017 Triple Crown race winners and star Thoroughbreds like Arrogate, American Pharoah, Curlin and Nyquist. Premium seating at Churchill Downs, Keeneland, Saratoga and Paul Brown Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, were also donated.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
