Meet Our Team
The team at Leon Macdonald Racing each play an important part in the management and success of our racing stable. We would like to introduce them to you.

Andrew Gluyas
Trainer
Andrew Gluyas has been around the thoroughbred for many years. He worked as an electrical fitter and also worked with the thoroughbred part time with Leon Macdonald Racing for many years. It was at the birth of his son in 2001 that he decided to make the permanent change to full time work with the thoroughbred.
Andrew took out his trainer’s licence in 2007 and works in partnership with Leon Macdonald. He manages the stable routine and works closely with Leon in the preparation of the horses. He is a skilled and knowledgeable horseman who is passionate about racing.
Andrew is an approachable and professional trainer who has established himself as a new generation trainer with the skills, grounding and dedication to continue his success into the future.
