OTI Gazette | Issue 102

The 102nd edition of the OTI Gazette is an action packed one, featuring an interview with star trainer David Eustace.

We look ahead to The Arc, discuss our chances over the long weekend (for many) and the tale of Big Philou. We also reflect on our Pinecliff visit, highlight an interesting stayer, feature our foal watch and some recent racing news.

A CHAT WITH DAVID EUSTACE

“We’re lucky enough to have a lot of good horses and most of the time the good ones are not the ones that probably stand out, which makes it quite difficult. Assessing yearlings is a really hard skill and getting it right is probably more luck than judgement.”


THE ARC – SIMPLY THE BEST!

“Ask ten racing purists around the world, “what is the world’s most prestigious race?”, and over half will tell you ‘The Arc’. Officially known as Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, it is run on the first Sunday of October – this weekend.”
