Sherri Ivanovich Promoted to Gainesway's Farm Manager

Gainesway Farm announced Dec. 13 the appointment of Sherri Ivanovich as its farm manager.

Ivanovich, a Central Kentucky native, established a top-class reputation in her previous role as Gainesway's yearling manager, a position that spanned 22 years.

"I have worked with Sherri for over 30 years and she is the epitome of hard work and dedication," said Gainesway general manager Brian Graves. "A great deal of any success we've had is a direct result of Sherri's support, and her commitment to excellence. I am very excited to promote her to this role at Gainesway."

Ivanovich started in the business in 1984 with local farms and later worked for several local trainers at the racetrack, including Kenny McPeek. In 1990 she joined Graves Stables (later 505 Farms), working for Bill and Michele Graves.

"The experience and opportunities I gained while there were profound. I not only had a world-class mentor in Bill Graves, but also with Michele Graves and Angela Woods," Ivanovich said. "I moved to Gainesway and had the opportunity to work with, and learn from, more of the best horsemen in the business. Gainesway has a reputation for excellence and I look forward to continuing that legacy."

"Sherri has been an integral part of the Gainesway family for many years and we are fortunate to have someone with her knowledge and expertise watching over many of the important operations here at the farm," said Gainesway owner Antony Beck.
