Will Douglass will join Ocala Breeders' Sales Company as their international representative, OBS announced.

The English native established Will Douglass Bloodstock in January of this year. Previously, he had worked as a bloodstock agent with Charlie Gordon-Watson since 2010. Prior to that, Douglass was an assistant to Classic-winning trainer Luca Cumani, Ed Dunlop and Australian Champion Trainer David Hayes.

“I am looking forward to working with [the] team at OBS and helping them expand their international client base,” Douglass said. “OBS has a long history of selling outstanding horses that are successful all over the world such as Crimson Advocate (Nyquist) winning at Royal Ascot whilst [Group 3 placed and OBS October graduate] The Publican's Son (Beau Liam) looks be a horse to follow next year.”

Some of the horses-in-training acquisitions Douglass has been responsible for include Classic and multiple Group 1 winner Al Riffa (Wootton Bassett); Hong Kong group winner Helene Feeling (Sioux Nation), dual Hong Kong Group 1 winner Peniaphobia (Dandy Man), Qatari champion Kerindia (Cotai Glory), and Grade 2 winner Nancy from Nairobi (Sixties Icon). Douglass also selected the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches second Shes Perfect (Sioux Nation) and Grade II winner Luther (Frankel).

“Will's expertise in Europe and Asia provides the perfect complement to the global appeal of OBS graduates,” said Tod Wojciechowski, OBS director of sales. “We are excited to bring him on board as his knowledge and skillset will be an invaluable asset in promoting our sales.”
