The All American Cup pays through 16 places - the most places ever paid in any Saddlebred competitions.
Dinner and festive activities are scheduled to begin at 4 PM. A total of 175 stallion services are set to be auctioned by Mr. Walt Robertson starting at 6 PM. The list of stallions, Reservation Forms, and Absentee Bid Forms are available at www.allamericancup.org.
It is recommended that every breeder complete and submit an Absentee Bid as early as possible, either by fax to (317) 862-4341, or by email to [email protected]. All bids will be kept on file and remain confidential. This document is the only instrument directing AAC phone staff to contact breeders on the evening of the auction. It is preferable that breeders attend or have a representative attend; however, an absentee form should be on file with AAC.
High attendance is expected, so attendees are encouraged to make reservations as soon as possible.
The AAC has awarded $1,780,000, with weanlings receiving $103,000, and three-year-olds receiving $117,000 in 2011. Each winner received over $30,000. The AAC awards to 16 places.
The AAC Stallion Review Tour will begin at Claudia Sanders Restaurant at 7 AM, with a continental breakfast. In attendance and greeting guests will be Elisabeth Goth, Don Harris, and “Jim.” Goth recently won the Five-Gaited Championship at the UPHA/American Royal National Championship with Fort Chiswell’s Royal Kiss, and she will be riding on the AAC coaches and sharing many stories with the young riders. Autographed pictures of Goth and her stallion will also be available. The legendary Don Harris will again meet with AAC guests as well.
Free seating will also be available to the first 150 students and Instructors making their reservations for the event. Other "Friends of the AAC" are sponsoring the breakfast and sack lunches, so 150 enthusiastic riding students may attend the AAC Stallion Review at no cost. Starting at 7 AM at Claudia Sanders, during breakfast there will be a photo and autograph session for AAC guests with the celebrities in attendance. Parents are encouraged to join their young family riders to listen to Elisabeth Goth and Don Harris.
Locations along the tour will include Sunrise Stable, Alliance Stud, Copper Coin, and Cornerstone. Many new stallions, visiting stallions, and other Saddlebreds will be presented. Mr. Peter Fenton will serve as Master Of Ceremonies for all events.
