Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 8 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 8 hours ago Andy Makiv has been appointed as Godolphin Australia's new managing director, it was announced on Thursday. Makiv joined Godolphin Australia in 2008 and was based in Victoria, first as nominations manager and then as general manager which saw him oversee the Carbine Lodge racing stable and Northwood Park. In 2021, he was appointed head of sales. The managing director role was vacated by Vin Cox, who moved over to run Yulong Stud at the end of last year. “I'm honoured to be part of such a dynamic organisation,” said Makiv. “I'm excited to continue working with our great people, elite bloodstock and world-class facilities as we pursue further success both on the track and with our stallion roster. “We have a great team at Godolphin. We have very experienced and dedicated stud managers, an experienced bloodstock manager and head trainer, as well as a great corporate team. A lot of our key senior people have been here a long time. It was essentially business as usual even without someone in that lead role.” He added, “Our business is the racing and stallion business and the team's success is shown through having colts like Traffic Warden and Broadsiding heading to Group 1 races this spring. “We also have a fantastic line up of stallions with Street Boss and Harry Angel having amazing springs, the first of the Bivouac progeny set to hit the racetrack, the first foals by Anamoe arriving, and Newmarket winner Cylinder new at stud in Victoria.” The post Andy Makiv Named as Managing Director of Godolphin Australia appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
