                        <title>Luxury Thoroughbred Horse Racing Business For Sale</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ Ho Ho Honbsp; While its not the Christmas holidays yet - some
interesting items available for purchase are now starting to hit the
market.nbsp; One high end item available is being offered through the
Neiman Marcus catalog.nbsp; For the mere sum of $10 million, you can
purchase a turn key amp; managed luxury thoroughbred horse racing
business.nbsp; The package being offered is being provided by 3 Chimneys
Farm in Midway KY (home to Kentucky Derby Winner Big Brown who will be
arriving there next year, Smarty Jones, and Triple Crown Winner Seattle
Slew).nbsp; Whats included for the $10 million price tag is 12 to 15
thoroughbred race horses, trained by the experienced trainers at Three
Chimneys Farm (with your guidance of course), and they will board them,
enter them into various horse races, and provide you your own personal
concierge to manage the entire operation.nbsp; You also get to design the
jockey silks for your ldquo;stablerdquo;, attend all of the races, and you get to
speak to the media for your horsesrsquo; results.nbsp; And you get to keep all
of the winnings amp; trophies that are won

Its essentially a person that wants all of the fun of playing in the
Kentucky horse industry - but doesnrsquo;t want the hassle of actually
having to manage the day to day operations of it.nbsp; All the glory, and
notoriety - and none of the manure.nbsp; What a deal It will definitely be
interesting to see if someone steps forward this holiday season and
purchases this opportunity.nbsp; Irsquo;m sure theyrsquo;ll get a lot of press
immediately (if they want it) as itrsquo;ll bring some new blood into the
horse industry in KY.

                        <title>2010 World Equestrian Games Tickets</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ The 2010 World Equestrian Games tickets go on salehellip;..in a year.nbsp;
Sorry guys amp; galsnbsp; They officially go on sale September 25, 2009.nbsp;
Official prices have not been set, but officials have stated that they
will have ldquo;cheaprdquo; reserved seats that will cost $25 a pop.nbsp; And the
higher end tickets for select events may run several hundred dollars
each.

There is another alternative for those on more of a budget.nbsp; There
will be general admission tickets that will allow persons to see the
various exhibits at the Kentucky Horse Park, view demonstrations, check
out the trade show and dining - AND, you can attend the equestrian
events that donrsquo;t have reserved seating such as the Endurance and Cross
Country riding competitions.


Tickets will be available through TicketMaster.


Preliminary reservations for tickets have been allowed by 2010 WEG
officials to some equine organizations such as the members of the
United States Equestrian Federation.nbsp; Deposits were allowed to be made,
that would apply to the ultimate purchase price for the tickets.


No worries though for those that arenrsquo;t members of those equestrian
groups - only about 18 of the total available tickets were allocated
to those groups.nbsp; The remaining several hundred thousand tickets will
still be available for purchase by the public next year.


So, hang tight.nbsp; Save your money.nbsp; And wait for September 25, 2009 to get your 2010 World Equestrian Games tickets
