Highgate Sales announced on Monday that the consignor has hired Kate Bianco as its Sales Director.
A New Jersey native, Bianco graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Interpersonal Communications. Upon graduation, she was hired at Three Chimneys in the yearling division before moving to the Sales and Nominations side of the farm.
Bianco went on to work as Thoroughbred Administrator at Stonestreet Farms, where she was able to learn and appreciate an elite level of the sport through Breeding, Racing and Sales.
“I feel privileged to have worked for some of the best in the business and will forever be grateful for that opportunity. Sales have always been a passion of mine and I look forward to starting this new adventure with the team at Highgate,” she said.
Starting her new role before the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky October Yearlings Sale, Bianco will oversee client communications and various pre-sale and sale day tasks as part of Highgate’s sales team.
“I am thrilled to welcome Kate to the Highgate team” said Highgate owner and partner Jill Gordon. “She has a wealth of experience, a great work ethic and an endlessly positive attitude that will make her an invaluable asset to our clients. We have grown a tremendous amount since launching Highgate last year, and Kate will play a pivotal role in continuing to best serve our clients.”
Founded in 2022, Highgate is a full-service Thoroughbred sales consignment and bloodstock consultancy. The consigner offers sales representation at all major yearling, breeding stock and horses of racing age sales with 181 horses sold for a gross of $20,875,300 since making its sales debut at the 2022 Fasig-Tipton February Sale.
