Longtime horsemen Tom Hamm and Bobby Langley have launched Top Tier Thoroughbred Management, which will provide a variety of bloodstock and racing management services to its clients, from private and auction purchases, to mating and conformation analysis.
Hamm, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, has over three decades of hands-on Thoroughbred experience, starting on the racetrack as an assistant trainer for his brother, Tim Hamm, in the mid-1990s. He later transitioned to the bloodstock realm, where he rose to become general farm manager at Taylor Made Farm and general manager of breeding operations at Woodford Thoroughbreds. He most recently worked at Three Chimneys Farm, joining the company as director of stallion nominations and later becoming chief commercial officer and overseeing Three Chimneys Racing Stable.
“Over the past 30 years, I have gained extensive knowledge of the Thoroughbred Industry, and what it takes to be successful in this business,” Hamm said. “I'm at a point in my career where I feel like it's time to go out on my own and utilize the experience and knowledge that I have gained over the years. I am looking forward to the opportunity and challenges of starting my own business with Top Tier Thoroughbred Management.”
Langley, a Louisville native, is an experienced blacksmith, spending 40 plus years working with some of the most notable and top Thoroughbred farms in the industry. He started in the industry working under the legendary Joe Taylor. Among some of the high-profile horses under his care were Hall of Famers American Pharoah, California Chrome, Curlin, and Justify. He has been instrumental in conformation evaluation and corrective farrier services for many top Thoroughbred farms throughout Central Kentucky.
Both Hamm and Langley will be based in Kentucky.
