Fanticipate, a patented online auction platform for fans to bid on unique memorabilia and experiences from their favorite competitors before the game even starts, has partnered with Breeders' Cup to offer a series of auctions coinciding with select Breeders' Cup Challenge Series races and the Breeders' Cup World Championships. Proceeds will benefit Breeders' Cup Charities. With Fanticipate, fans have the exciting opportunity to own items used by entrants in these races, enabling them to “own a piece of the action.”

The series of auctions will kick off with Saturday's GI TVG.com Haskell S. at Monmouth Park and will continue with: the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup and G1 Flower Bowl Invitational (Sept. 4 at Saratoga); the GI Woodbine Mile (Sept. 18) the GI Breeders' Futurity, the GII Thoroughbred Club of America S. and GI Keeneland Turf Mile (Oct. 9) and will conclude with the Breeders' Cup World Championships (November 5-6 at Del Mar).

The first auction for the Haskell will include uniquely curated items from participants, such as a one-of-a-kind race day photo of Mandaloun and other items from the entrants' owners and connections. Breeders' Cup has also donated two Stretch Run Reserved Seats to the 2021 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Del Mar to be auctioned off as part of the Haskell auction. Fans can view and bid on these items at www.fanticipate.com/breederscup.

Fanticipate, an online marketplace that allows athletes, teams, and leagues to offer unique experiences and items for their fans to bid on before an event starts, launches its first auction for the 146^th annual Kentucky Derby.

Competitors (sellers) are officially verified through Fanticipate to provide unique and authentic items or experiences desired by the fans (buyers), who are competing to win the fan engagement of a lifetime. This process gives the seller the ability to increase fan loyalty, brand identity, and create a lasting relationship with their fans. Additionally, Fanticipate offers a platform for competitors to create a new revenue stream for themselves, their team, or their favorite charity, giving the competitor complete control over the proceeds. Since the auction takes place ahead of the event itself, fans who win the bid have the rare experience of watching their prized items being used in the event before taking a piece of the action home.

“Fanticipate is excited to launch our online marketplace just in time for the 146^th Kentucky Derby, so we can elevate the fan experience in new and novel ways,” said Jim Chiapetta, Co-Founder of Fanticipate. CEO and Co-Founder, Ed Blach, added, “Fanticipate gives fans who have an appetite to compete and be a part of the action, the ability to do so. During a time when there are fewer fans in the stands, this new form of engagement allows spectators to feel the excitement from home, and we look forward to building on this concept for all of our future events.”

Items available through the 146^th Kentucky Derby auction include:

Famed racehorse Tiz the Law's horseshoe
A Zoom call with Jack Knowlton, the Operating Manager of Sackatoga Stable
Halters worn by 2020 Kentucky Derby competitors and other history-making racehorses

Many of the current sellers will be giving back to the community and donating their proceeds to charities, such as Race for Grace and Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Farm. All items purchased at the auction have the potential to increase in value based on the outcome of the event, providing unique opportunities for fans to experience high-level events with newfound engagement and increased anticipation. While the Kentucky Derby is Fanticipate's current live auction, it is only the first of many sporting events that the company will feature, such as hockey and baseball.
