Grovendale Sales announced April 4 that Chance Timm will become a partner in leading sales agency Grovendale, which has been owned and managed by James B. Keogh.
The newly formed partnership reflects a longtime friendship and business relationship that has come full circle with partnering on the sales agency.
Timm has over 12 years of experience in the commercial Thoroughbred business. He spent eight years at world-renowned Lane's End Farm as the director of stallion seasons and shares, while actively working with both the sales and bloodstock divisions. Most recently serving as executive director of Don Alberto Corp., Chance oversaw the sale and management of more than $10 million in public sales, including the highest-priced yearling in the Northern Hemisphere in 2021, a yearling colt by Into Mischief out of Paola Queen , sold for $2.6 million at Saratoga.
“I've been fortunate to work with some top organizations and quality bloodstock. I'm very thankful for the opportunities I've been given but especially by James Keogh to partner with him,” Timm said. “I have a lot of confidence and respect for James and what he has built in Grovendale Sales. We will represent owners and breeders at the major sales and I look forward to building our yearling and horses of racing age drafts while adding further quality to the breeding stock sales which James has always been so successful at.”
Keogh, a native of Ireland, has over 30 years experience in the Thoroughbred industry while based in Kentucky. James has built Grovendale sales over the past 10 years into a well-known, well-respected, and trusted consignor.
Said Keogh of the new partnership, “Bringing on Chance is an opportunity for me to grow and build the sales agency, while maintaining a focus on quality over quantity. The partnership will enable us to expand our reach both with Chance's relationships as well as a greater representation at every major sale.”
Grovendale Sales is a Thoroughbred sales consignment based in Versailles, Ky., that offers sales representation, matings, investments, and Thoroughbred management consultation.
