Andrew Cary, a former partner in Select Sales, has announced the launch of his new agency, Cary Bloodstock.
Cary will begin receiving new clients immediately and has already purchased horses at the Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale under his new banner, led by a $70,000 Connect colt (Hip 107) acquired Feb. 10.
"I'm very blessed and excited for this new opportunity," Cary said. "We had a fantastic decade together at Select Sales and I'm really looking forward to a new chapter in my life and career. I greatly appreciate the support of my family, friends and clients in this new endeavor."
Born in Zimbabwe and a California resident beginning in 1988, Cary moved to Kentucky in 2002 and worked for Thoroughbred Times, Taylor Made Sales, and Hill 'n' Dale Farm before joining Select Sales when it started in 2009.
"I've been extremely fortunate to learn from some of the best minds in the business during my career: the Taylor brothers, John Sikura & Donato Lanni, Carrie & Craig Brogden, Tom Ryan, Jay Goodwin," Cary said. "I've been involved with some incredible horses like Ashado and Better than Honour and Tepin. It really is very gratifying to look back on my experiences. I knew nobody when I moved here in 2002."
Select Sales concluded business Feb. 11 after announcing plans to dissolve Feb. 9.

Cary Bloodstock will offer a full complement of bloodstock services, including buying and selling horses of all ages, mating analysis, and portfolio management. Cary will not have a consignment of his own, but will funnel the majority of both his personal stock and his clients horses through Eaton Sales, where Goodwin, his close friend and former partner, recently was named as account manager.
