Update - Tranquility Farm now has them.

"Following more than a week of difficult negotiations, 36 pregnant
Thoroughbred mares and one stallion were removed from a Phoenix,
Ariz., feedlot Aug. 15 and are now at two safe locations in the
state, eventually bound for new homes."

"Clark became aware of the situation when contacted by a friend,
Joyce Long, an Arizona bloodstock agent who heard about it before the
horses were to be sold at an auction in Chandler, Ariz. A trainer in
the Phoenix area, Steve Irlando, convinced Quinn to hold off on the
auction and helped with the negotiations."

Cheers for Joyce and Steve.
