The farm, which is home to North America's leading sire Tapit, is owned by the Beck family and Anthony Beck, CEO of Gainesway, warmly welcomed Ivanovich's elevation to the position of farm manager.

Beck said: “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."
