In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we have a chat to NSW race caller Darren Flindell, who is known for nailing the big moments.
We assess our weekend runners, celebrate recent winners, look at some impressive trial performances and chat about the upcoming spring carnival. We also introduce the exciting Picture Of A City.
All that and much more to look forward to in this edition!
A CHAT WITH DARREN FLINDELL
“Calling greyhounds was typically the way all young race callers would start off their careers. I really loved my time in the greyhounds and as I got older and more experienced, opportunities then began to open calling the thoroughbreds as well. The late Gowan Williams helped me get my foot in the door calling the horses.”
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL…
“While Japan and Hong Kong excel with their prizemoney levels, Sydney can arguably claim to be a global leader with the offering of at least a $1m race on most Saturdays throughout the spring. Melbourne’s stakes are good, but the gap between Australia’s two major cities is now significant and that gap is widening.”
