Harry grew up working with horses at his family farm Eureka Stud, helping breed, raise and prepare horses for sale. An interest to explore a career in sales led to a foray bid-spotting at Magic Millions and an internship at Europe’s leading auction house Tattersalls. After returning to Australia to complete studies in International Business and Law, Harry joined Australian auction house William Inglis and Sons.
Then Harry had a call to return home to Eureka Stud. At this time Harry also maintained his involvement in a bloodstock agent capacity setting up Harry McAlpine Bloodstock.
