Cross Gate, the country’s leading gallery of fine sporting art, delivers a superb collection of paintings and sculpture.  Each year, Ladd travels throughout the U.S. and Europe to acquire important works that will capture the interest of ardent collectors.  

In keeping with Keeneland’s mission, both sporting and altruistic, the association’s portion of the auction proceeds will benefit its non-profit initiatives, including the Keeneland Library Foundation.
