OTI Gazette | Issue 109

In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we chat to last year’s Everest winning trainer Joe Pride, who is also involved in our Eurolink ’23 initiative.

We discuss the possible sale of Rosehill & Sandown Racecourses, look at Eurolink ’23, preview our weekend contenders and present an interesting story on the history of the photo-finish. We also introduce an attractive colt by Contributer, who will be trained by John O’Shea.

All that and more!

A CHAT WITH JOE PRIDE

“The most rewarding part is definitely the race days, and the most challenging I would say is the grind of the day-to-day routine, which seems to be relentless with racing all year around.” 


TO SELL OR NOT TO SELL – IT’S MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT!

“When it comes to racetracks, it’s important that they be prepared to the highest quality and be accessible to as many as possible. In both Sandown and Rosehill’s case, it is a no brainer that given the geographic location, both racetracks are well placed where they are currently situated.”
