OTI Gazette | Issue 113

In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we provide a very interesting chat with Bloodstock Consultant Hubie de Burgh. Not only a highly respected figure in the industry, but also a wonderful storyteller!

We discuss the promotion of racing, preview our weekend contenders around the globe, take a look at the upcoming TSHA National Titles, find out who Barrier Rogue is and introduce a new French 2yo colt.

A CHAT WITH HUBIE DE BURGH

“I was the second worst amateur jockey to ever ride in Ireland. At least I knew which direction to go in. The only fella worse than me didn’t!”

RACING’S PROMOTION

The promotion of women in our sport is only one area where light should be shined to highlight the positive aspects of racing. The wealth of young, talented, media-savvy trainers is so far removed from the image of the trainers of the past. These younger men and women provide a fresh, vital image, and they should be promoted aggressively.”
