04/19/05: Two new auctions are now up to benefit The Exceller Fund. These auctions are being held to help raise money to pay the transportation costs to send Hannah to her retirement home at Our Mims Retirement Haven where her stall awaits her! Hannah is a 20+ year old Thoroughbred broodmare who was left ill, starving and skinny in Washington feedlot just days from being transported to a slaughterhouse in Canada. She was privately rescued but does not yet have a permanent home. Hearing of her plight, Jeanne of Our Mims is keeping a stall for her, and we just need to pay for her ride!

The auctions feature two legends of the Turf - Secretariat and John Henry. You can easily link to both auctions from our eBay:
