The Vital Spotlight Sale is unlike any other auction — one horse, one chance, and one unforgettable opportunity. This year, the spotlight shines brightly on VS Lady Of The Night, a true-blue roan mare whose pedigree and presence demand centre stage. On September 14th at 12:00 PM (CST), she will be offered in a single-horse online auction, giving breeders a rare opportunity to own a cornerstone mare from one of the most influential programs in the industry.
