Founded in 1974 in Lexington, Kentucky—the Horse Capital of the World—Cross Gate Gallery has earned an international reputation as one of the world's premier destinations for fine sporting and equestrian art. For more than five decades, the gallery has specialized in exceptional paintings and sculpture spanning from important 19th-century masters to today's leading contemporary sporting artists, serving distinguished collectors, Thoroughbred owners, breeders, racing organizations, and equestrian enthusiasts around the globe.

Building on this legacy of excellence, Cross Gate Gallery proudly presents the inaugural Racing Memorabilia Auction. This exciting new annual event showcases an extraordinary collection of rare horse racing trophies, awards, and memorabilia from the sport's most celebrated racehorses, owners, breeders, and jockeys. Curated with the same commitment to provenance, authenticity, and quality that has defined Cross Gate Gallery for over 50 years, The Racing Memorabilia Auction offers collectors an unparalleled opportunity to own remarkable pieces of Thoroughbred racing history while celebrating the traditions and achievements that have shaped the Sport of Kings.
