We are delighted to welcome Will Macdonald to the Astute Bloodstock team as our new Sales and Marketing Manager, commencing in September 2025.

Will brings a strong combination of horsemanship, international experience, and bloodstock knowledge. He is a graduate of the prestigious Irish National Stud Breeding Management Course in 2023, where he was awarded the Irish Field Blue Hen Award.

He most recently worked with Inglis as a Bloodstock Assistant, where he gained experience in pedigree research, yearling inspections, client and vendor relations, and the organisation of live and digital sales. He also acted as a buyer’s agent, bid spotter, and facilitated private sales.

Will’s international experience includes completing the Goffs Internship in Ireland, where he gained valuable exposure to the European market, along with hands-on work at leading operations such as Baroda Stud in Ireland. 

Back in Australia, Will has done work experience with Yarraman Park, Widden , and The Chase/Newgate consignments.

Academically, Will holds a Bachelor of Arts in Socio-Legal Studies and Business Law from the University of Sydney and has further enhanced his skill set through auctioneering training at Inglis and CPD qualifications in both real estate and stock & station.

With his deep passion for thoroughbred racing and breeding, broad international perspective, and strong communication skills, Will is perfectly placed to support our clients and strengthen Astute Bloodstock’s sales and marketing efforts.

We look forward to introducing Will to many of you in the coming months.
