Gordon, West To Launch Highgate Sales Consignment For Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale

Jill Gordon and Jacob West have announced the launch of Highgate Sales, a new sales company making its debut at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale in February.

Highgate Sales will offer consignments at breeding stock, yearling, and horses of racing age sales with a focus on providing individual service to each of its clients. In addition to its consignments, the operation will also offer appraisals, private purchases and sales, and portfolio management services.

Gordon has extensive knowledge of the bloodstock industry, working with some of the top farms and consignments in the nation. She formerly worked at Claiborne Farm as the sales and client relations manager for 3 1/2 years after a three-year stint at Warrendale Sales.

In her role at Claiborne, she oversaw all aspects of the public sales consignment as well as outside sales recruitment, growing the consignment considerably during that time. She also assisted with private sales and handled client communication throughout the year.

“Jill was a fantastic asset to the team during her tenure at Claiborne. Her depth of knowledge of the industry and work ethic is next to none. I know she will be successful as she takes on this new endeavor and I wish her the best,” said Claiborne Farm president Walker Hancock.

Gordon will help Claiborne Farm transition through next month's Keeneland January Breeding Stock Sale before starting her full time role at Highgate Sales.

“I am very grateful and appreciative for my time at Claiborne Farm,” Gordon said. “I have built some great relationships and have been surrounded by some of the best horses and families in the stud book. I look forward to partnering with Jacob and combining our skill sets to best serve our clients in this new chapter of my career under the Highgate banner.”

Gordon also works closely with the Consignors and Commercial Breeders Association and was recently elected to the Kentucky Thoroughbred Farm Managers' Club's Board of Directors.

Successful bloodstock agent Jacob West started his career in racing as a yearling groom at Taylor Made. before moving up to a role with the operation as their buyer account manager. During that time, he managed investment portfolios, including public and private acquisitions, breeding, and racing management. West also worked as the director of bloodstock services for Three Chimneys Farm where he managed the farm's private and public sales acquisitions.

West has been the vice president of bloodstock for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners since 2017, when he also launched West Bloodstock. This year West was appointed as the U.S. agent for Goffs.

“In forming this partnership with Jill Gordon the main focus will be on fulfilling our clients' needs,” West said. “Jill brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Public Sales space. We look forward to working together and launching Highgate Sales.”
