Biederman Steps Down from the Mic

Tom Biederman will be stepping down from the auctioneer stand at Fasig-Tipton at the end of 2023 to focus more on his Lexington-based Biederman Real Estate and Auctioneers company.

Biederman has served as an auctioneer and pedigree announcer at Fasig-Tipton for the past 25 years. He began in the Thoroughbred auction industry as a student at the University of Kentucky and has served in nearly every capacity available in the business, previously working for Ocala Breeders' Sales Company, Barrett's, the Canadian Thoroughbred Breeders and many others.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of serving, not only with the Fasig-Tipton family, but just as importantly, the breeders, owners, consignors, buyers, and their supporters. It has been a wonderful honor to ply my trade at some of the most recognized Thoroughbred auctions in the world, including Fasig-Tipton Saratoga and the November sale for the last several years,” Biederman said.

He continued, “While I will continue to be involved in the Thoroughbred industry as a consultant and participant, my primary focus going forward will turn to expanding and improving Biederman Real Estate and Auctioneers, a company based in Lexington and founded in 1994 to assist buyers and sellers of quality Kentucky real estate and other commodities.”

Boyd Browning, Fasig-Tipton CEO, added, “Tom has been a valuable member of the Fasig-Tipton team for nearly four decades. He has served the company and our customers impeccably during this time. Although he will no longer be in the auction stand, we look forward to his continued involvement with Fasig-Tipton and the Thoroughbred industry as a horse owner and leader in the Central Kentucky real estate market.”

Thoroughbred Owner Conference Series ‘Buying at Public Auction’ Now Online

The seventh panel of the OwnerView Virtual Thoroughbred Owner Conference held Tuesday, Aug. 15, is now online, the organization said in a release early Thursday.

The session featured bloodstock agents Erin Birkenhauer, Marette Farrell and Mike Ryan, plus auctioneer Tom Biederman discussing horse selection and the bidding process at Thoroughbred auctions. The panel was moderated by OwnerView's project manager, Gary Falter.

Topics included yearling sales, buying 2-year-olds, buying horses in training, the importance of vet records and conformation.

“For people getting into the business for the first time, a great approach is to buy some fillies because you have some exit strategy, you've got resale/residual value,” Ryan said.

There are four more Thoroughbred Owner Conference virtual panels scheduled for 2023, with the next session, 'Claiming', to be held Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. (ET).

There is no fees for the series, but registration is required. Click here for more information.
