Consign With the Best

Gainesway excels in the sales ring by focusing on select limited numbers and offering the highest quality horses. Each year we consign at Fasig-Tipton July, Fasig-Tipton Saratoga, Keeneland September, Fasig-Tipton October, Fasig-Tipton November, Keeneland November, and Keeneland January.

For 13 consecutive years, Gainesway has ranked among the top four consignors by gross sales. In 2022, Gainesway sold over $70 million worth of bloodstock, and our yearling sales led by average for consignors with 100 or more offered. Gainesway sold the most yearling for a million dollars or more in 2022 with seven, and was the only consignor to sell four at Keeneland September.

Last year, Gainesway sold three million dollar mares in November, averaging $216,271 among all broodmares, broodmare prospects, and racing/broodmare prospects at the Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland November sales.

Our Horses Sell

A hallmark of Gainesway’s sales program is our ability to sell horses. Every year since 2006 Gainesway has been a world leader by percentage of horses sold.

In 2020, we sold 90% of all horses offered (342 of 380).  In 2019, we sold 88% of all horses offered (377 of 427). In 2018, we sold 83% (310 of 374). In 2017, 84%; in 2016, 78%; and in 2015, 82%. These numbers are even more remarkable considering just 70% of all horses offered at public auction sell in the ring.

Quality and Consistency

Our sales team focuses on selling at the top of the market. We believe placement within a consignment is one of the most important decisions, and we strive to help clients place their Thoroughbreds where they will stand out from the crowd. At the sale we maintain the highest level of horsemanship and presentation as well as consistent communication with our clients.

If you are looking to sell or purchase a weanling, yearling, or broodmare, the Gainesway sales division is eager to put its record of success to work for you. Please contact Brian Graves for information about consigning with Gainesway.
