After a decade at Four Star Sales as their director of bloodstock, Ashley Franz will join Warrendale Sales as a bloodstock sales associate, the group announced via press release.“Ashley started with Four Star when she was just out of college and has truly become a very accomplished horsewoman,” said Four Star's Kerry Cauthen. “She will be sorely missed, both professionally and as a great friend to us all, but we couldn't be prouder of her accomplishments with us and those that are still to come in her future.”Franz grew up with a racing and sales background, and built upon that foundation during her time at Four Star to expand her knowledge in all areas related to bloodstock, including client management, pinhook partnerships, client purchases and appraisals. She will continue with Four Star through the Keeneland September sale, and will begin with Warrendale at the beginning of October.“I am truly excited about this next chapter in my career at Warrendale and I look forward to continuing to work with current clients & partners, as well as building new relationships with the clients and staff there,” said Franz. “I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity I have had to develop professionally over the last decade alongside Kerry and the entire Four Star team and I will genuinely miss my day-to-day interactions there. I will carry with me the wealth of knowledge I have gained at Four Star, which I believe will help me excel in my new role at Warrendale with Kitty and Hunter.”“Kitty and I are ecstatic to have Ashley join the Warrendale Sales team,” said Hunter Simms. “She brings with her a tremendous work ethic and is someone who really connects and succeeds with her client base. Ashley has put in the work from the ground up and that is really something that goes a long way in this business.”“She knows what needs to be done in order for her clients and herself to be successful. We look forward to providing Ashley the opportunities to continue to grow into the best version of herself and succeed at what she truly enjoys doing.”The post Ashley Franz To Join Warrendale Sales As Bloodstock Sales Associate appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
