Jesse Ullery to Join Fasig-Tipton

Jesse Ullery has joined Fasig-Tipton as an account executive and sales announcer, the company announced Nov. 28. 

Ullery brings extensive experience in the Thoroughbred industry. Born in Montana and raised in Phoenix, he was introduced to the sport by his grandfather Burton Farley, a trainer in the Northwest and at Turf Paradise, and by his aunt, longtime racing official Coralee Farley. His mother, LeAnn Hickman, works for Coady Photography.

Ullery's first involvement in equine auctions came while working at a monthly sale in Montana managed by his father, Keith Ullery. He went on to gain experience at Thoroughbred sales conducted by the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society, Heritage Place, the Ocala Breeders' Sales, and Keeneland.

At 19, Ullery became the track announcer at Fair Meadows in Tulsa, Okla., in 2007. He was named to the same post at Will Rogers Downs and Blue Ribbon Downs the following year, and he also served as director of racing at Fair Meadows and Will Rogers.

"Jesse will be a tremendous addition to our team at Fasig-Tipton," said Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning. "Our customers will appreciate his expertise and enthusiasm."

Ullery will announce his first sale for Fasig-Tipton at the Dec. 4 Midlantic December Mixed and Horses of Racing Age Sale in Timonium, Md. He will be actively involved in the recruitment of both sellers and buyers for all Fasig-Tipton sales.
