Keeneland Sales Staff Walt Robertson | Vice President of Sales

Julie Cauthen | Director of Owner and Client Development

Walt Robertson, a longtime leader in the equine auction industry, was named to the newly created position of Vice President of Sales in January 2011. Robertson, who joined Keeneland following 35 years at Fasig-Tipton, oversees and directs all functions of the Keeneland sales. In addition to his extensive work in the Thoroughbred industry, Robertson has been active in the Central Kentucky community for many years. He has served as the chairman of the Kentucky Horse Park Commission, is a former director and past president of the Thoroughbred Club of America and is a past member of the Sayre School and The Lexington School boards of trustees. He continues to serve as President/Auctioneer for SwinebroadDenton, Inc., a full-service real estate auction company in Lexington.

Julie Cauthen is tasked with expanding Keeneland’s efforts domestically to draw new owners to the Thoroughbred industry and managing relationships with existing Keeneland clients. Before joining Keeneland in April 2013, Cauthen was Chief Operating Officer of Donegal Racing. She selected horses and managed their training, and was a liaison with clients of the racing syndicate. Donegal’s standouts include 2012 Toyota Blue Grass (G1) winner Dullahan. Cauthen, who grew up in Midway, Ky., represents the fourth generation of her family involved in the Thoroughbred industry. Her uncle is longtime Keeneland trustee Charles Nuckols III. Her husband, Kerry Cauthen, also is involved in the industry.

Geoffrey G. Russell | Director of Sales

Ryan Mahan | Senior Auctioneer

Geoffrey Russell has served as Keeneland’s Director of Sales since June 2001. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Russell gained early experience at Coolmore Stud and as a bid spotter at Goffs. He came to the U.S. in 1982, first working at Fasig-Tipton and then Elmendorf Farm. He returned to Fasig-Tipton as Vice President of Fasig-Tipton Appraisals and Director of Sales Administration prior to joining Keeneland in 1996 as Assistant Director of Sales to Rogers Beasley. Russell represents Keeneland on the Sales Integrity Task Force, International Catalogue Standards Committee (NA) (ICSC) and the Society of International Thoroughbred Auctioneers (SITA), having served as the organization’s chairman in 2003 and 2004. He also sits on the board of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation.

Keeneland’s senior auctioneer, Ryan Mahan, considered following his stepfather, Dr. Robert Copelan, into veterinary medicine. Instead, he finds himself in the auction stand at the leading Thoroughbred sales in the world. Mahan initially had his own auction company but in 1977 he came to work at Keeneland as a bid spotter and later chief announcer for several years following the departure of Tom Hammond. Promoted to auctioneer in the mid-1980s, he succeeded the late Tom Caldwell in 2001 as senior auctioneer. Mahan also serves on the yearling inspection team.

Mark Maronde | Sales Account Executive

Mark Maronde brings more than 20 years of experience in the Thoroughbred industry to the Keeneland sales team, which he joined in April 2009. As account executive, he assists with recruiting and marketing efforts for Keeneland sales and serves as a member of the yearling inspection team. Maronde spent five years in the bloodstock division of WinStar Farm prior to Keeneland. He honed his inspection and sales recruiting skills as National Field Representative for Barretts’ Equine Ltd. (1996-2009) and with the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society (2007-2009). He also worked for Cromwell Bloodstock from 1990-1995.

Thomas J. Thornbury | Associate Director of Sales

Tom Thornbury was named Keeneland’s Associate Director of Sales in June 2002. In his position, Thornbury acts as liaison to consignor interests, cultivates relationships with horsemen in emerging racing markets, and serves as a member of the yearling inspection team. Thornbury grew up on the farm owned by his father, John Thornbury, and his partner, Dr. Robert Copelan, where he was involved in training and farm management, and assisted in equine orthopedic surgery. Thornbury spent nearly 10 years at Airdrie Stud, owned by former Kentucky Gov. and Mrs. Brereton C. Jones, working first as yearling manager and later as general manager. He is a past president of the Thoroughbred Club of America and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Farm Managers’ Club, and formerly served on the board of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association and Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders.

Will Mayer | Sales Associate

Will Mayer joined the Keeneland sales team in July 2011 following his graduation from the Darley Flying Start program. During that two-year course he worked at stud farms and racing stables in five countries and completed internships under some of the world’s top trainers, including Sydney’s leading metropolitan trainer Chris Waller. He interned with Keeneland in 2008-2009, and previously worked at Fares Farm. A native of Winchester, Ky., Mayer is a 2008 Magna Cum Laude graduate of Transylvania University, where he earned a B.A. in finance and French. 5

Owners: Craig and Holly Bandoroff Website: denalistud.com Background: Craig and Holly Bandoroff’s Denali Stud near Paris, Ky. is one of the Thoroughbred industry’s leading bloodstock consignors. Craig Bandoroff was a jockey in New Jersey in the early 1970s until a spill at Garden Craig Bandoroff State Park in 1974 left him without the use of his right arm, forcing him to explore other career paths within the industry. The Bandoroffs each gained experience working in various bloodstock and sales capacities, and in 1990 they opened Denali Stud. “Denali” is derived from the name given by the Eskimos to Mt. McKinley and means “the great one.” In the late 1990s, Bob Lewis and his wife, Beverly, sent their champion racemare Serena’s Song to Denali when she was retired. Denali has sold several of Serena Song’s offspring, including Group 1 winner Sophisticat, by Storm Cat, for $3.4 million at the 2000 Keeneland July Selected Yearling Sale; Grade 2 winner Harlington, by Unbridled, for $2.8 million at the 2003 Keeneland September Yearling Sale; and Colourful Score, a colt by Storm Cat, for $3.5 million, at the 2005 September Sale.

Northern Taste was the champion stallion in Japan for 11 consecutive years. Sunday Silence, winner of the 1989 Kentucky Derby (G1), Preakness (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), entered stud at Shadai in 1991 and became a perennial leading sire.
