Artie's Princess is one of 14 horses owned by Ken Ramsey supplemented to the Keeneland January Sale

The latest supplement of 36 horses to the Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale includes 14 being sold as part of an ongoing lawsuit between trainer Wesley Ward and owner/breeder Ken Ramsey.

Artie's Princess , Chasing Artie , and Ramsey Solution  are among the 14 racing prospects, racing or stallion prospects, and racing or broodmare prospects owned by Ramsey that will be offered. They will be consigned by Paramount Sales, agent, and are scheduled to sell at the end of the Jan. 13 session.

Ward and Ramsey have been embroiled in a lawsuit since March, filed by Ward to recover nearly $1 million he claims to be owed in delinquent training bills. Ward acquired an agricultural lien against the horses because of the debt and got permission to sell them during a Dec. 9 hearing before Jessamine (Ky.) County Circuit Court Judge Hunter Daugherty.
