Top bloodstock agent takes up position at leading breeding organisation.

Coolmore Australia has made a high-profile addition to its sales and nominations team with Brian McGuire to take up a position later this month.

McGuire has played a key role with some of the biggest stables in the country, including Ciaron Maher, Gai Waterhouse and Annabel Neasham, as well as having spent time at Aquis Farm.

He is excited about joining one of the biggest brands in the world at an exciting time for the organisation.

"When you look at their current roster of stallions and note that Golden Slipper winner Shinzo is set to join them, the future looks extremely bright," McGuire said.

"Couple that with the significant investment they have made to enhance their broodmare band in recent times, it makes it a very appealing move for me and my family.

"I look forward to joining a team of people that I already have a lot of respect for, and hope that combining my experience, knowledge and enthusiasm can further enhance the continued development of Coolmore Australia."

Coolmore Australia principal Tom Magnier said McGuire would be the perfect addition to his team.

"Brian is someone we have watched and worked with closely over many years. He is a hardworking and knowledgeable person, and we have a huge amount of respect for him," Magnier said.

"We have a great team of young and ambitious people at Coolmore and Brian will complement that team perfectly as we continue to build for the future."

McGuire will start with Coolmore on November 20.
