Since founding Elliott Bloodstock Services in 2014, Alex has purchased numerous Graded Stakes performers, under both codes, for clients around the world.

Having grown up around horses, Alex spent three years working under top National Hunt trainer Philip Hobbs. This was followed by a scholarship on the Darley Flying Start Program where he worked on HH Sheikh Mohammed al Maktoum’s stud farms in Ireland, England, America, Australia and Dubai whilst also working with world renowned trainers including, Sir Michael Stoute, Christophe Clement and Saeed Bin Suroor.

Upon graduation Alex spent a full season with Sir Michael Stoute before moving to America and taking up position as assistant to Christophe Clement, working in both Florida and New York.

In 2009 Alex was approached by leading trainer Eoin Harty, to head up the training of his California division. Colonel John, Well Armed, Victor’s Cry and American Lion are to name but a few of the top class performers that were in the barn during Alex’s tenure. Prior to establishing Elliott Bloodstock Services, Alex spent two years assisting leading bloodstock consultant Jamie McCalmont.
