The 78 painted horses kick off what Fizdale and others hope will be a renaissance of public art.
Organizers look forward to people taking slow walks downtown to view the horses.
The following is a list of the Horse Mania horses, what they sold for and who bought them. The bidding was fast and furious at Keeneland last night for a stable of horses that will never run a step. But then again, these were the horses that captured Lexington's imagination like no thoroughbred since since Secretariat or at least since Holy Bull. From November 30 Robert Morgan created Rainbow Rider, one of the HorseMania works scheduled to be auctioned Saturday at Keeneland. Standing at Vine and Quality streets, it was Morgan's highest-profile work so far.
