Kentucky horsemen are rallying around the family of well-known local bloodstock agent Mike Recio, co-founder of South Point Sales and Rockbridge Bloodstock. Recio is currently hospitalized in a Lexington, Ky., intensive care unit and the Thoroughbred community is raising money for Recio's family. In that spirit, a fundraiser has been set up for Aug. 1 at the popular McCarthy's Bar in Lexington, Ky.
Proceeds will go towards expenses for Recio and his family. The silent auction will feature halters from American Pharoah, Authentic, Curlin, Flatter, Justify, Not This Time, and Tapit. A backyard barbeque catered by Proud Mary BBQ, a three-day AirBnB getaway in Midway, and more will be up for grabs. Remote bidding is available for those outside of the Lexington area.
Mike Recio grew up in racing, learning the business from his parents, Bill and Lynn, who own Lynnwood Stable in Ocala, Fla. After graduating from the University of Louisville, Recio went on to work for Taylor Made Sales, Adena Springs, and others before opening South Point Sales with Arika Everatt-Meeuse in 2014.
There's something for everyone at tonight's silent auction to support the Recio's @SouthPointSales…and list is still growing!
