The 103rd edition of the OTI Gazette is another action packed one, featuring an interview with Group 1-winning jockey and media personality Katelyn McDonald (Mallyon).
We discuss the Melbourne Cup with the great Luca Cumani, and take a look behind the scenes of our important Australian trials. We also discuss our chances over the weekend, reflect on the Equimillion competition in NSW and introduce an exciting colt bound for Australia.
A CHAT WITH KATELYN McDONALD
“I tread carefully with what I say in regards to jockeys’ rides because I know how hard it is to be out there doing it and how easy it is for everyone to be critical of their rides. I guess I stick up for them as best as I can and some people can think I’m biased, but I have a pretty thick skin so it doesn’t bother me too much.”
PREPARING HORSES TO RACE
“As we rightly celebrate our elite horses racing at this time of the year and look forward to seeing how the international visitors perform, it’s worth acknowledging the efforts of the men and women, many volunteers, who support the weekly round of jump outs and trials.”
