The 'Going, going ... GONE! The Auctioning of Arlington Park,' three-part series is must reading for anyone interested in further grasping the cold, calloused ways of Churchill Downs Inc. It's not appointment reading for all.But it is sure to be Kleenex reading for some.
And some might say that Patti Davis did not produce merely a summary of institutional death posted on the respected"Paulick Report" thoroughbred racing website this week.
DAVIS DETAILS HOW The Grafe Auction Co. of Minnesota essentially tagged just about everything in and around the iconic racetrack beginning last summer. • The lone holdback was the"Against All Odds" statue -- Edwin Bogucki's commemorative sculpture of the great John Henry vs. 40-1 shot The Bart on the wire in the inaugural Arlington Million .
So, with a background of more than four decades as a thoroughbred owner , Davis offered her services to assist in the cataloging and organization of AP auction items. Any real chance of that happening ended when first daughter Dayle Duchossois-Fortino and her husband Ed Fortino abruptly left the family racing business in 1992-93.
