In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we speak with leading trainer Mark Walker, who is looking to make waves from Te Akau Racing’s new Cranbourne base.
We take a look back on what was an interesting year for the racing industry, reflect on OTI’s 2023 feature winners and assess our weekend chances. We also introduce a promising 2yo filly (with Mark Walker) who has just arrived in Australia.
All that and more!
A CHAT WITH MARK WALKER
“Cranbourne, it’s a trainers dream to have such great facilities at a purpose built training complex. Also, the beach is nearby, which is a great low impact work out, plus it’s super for recovery.”
A REFLECTION ON AN INTERESTING YEAR
“The first full post-covid year produced a full bag of highlights, both on and off the track. Whether racing has progressed as a sport/business is too early to say, however one thing that we can say is that there is no shortage of challenges facing the future.”
