In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we have a chat with Neil Bainbridge, CEO of Southside Racing (new merger between Cranbourne Turf Club and Pakenham Racing Club).
We reflect on a terrific Spring Carnival and the growth of the crowd attendance on recent years, preview our weekend chances, hear from the Barrier Rogue and introduce a talented new NZ stayer with John O’Shea & Tom Charlton.
CHAT WITH NEIL BAINBRIDGE
“Both Cranbourne and Pakenham have a wonderful history and have been very good Clubs at serving the industry and community for a number of years. The merger will allow us to take things to a new level and build the fourth Metropolitan club in Victoria.”
“In a recent issue of the Gazette, the joy of heading to the races was highlighted. Nowhere was that joy demonstrated more than by the recent Carnivals in Melbourne and Sydney. Indeed, the essence of a Carnival is a celebration – and that’s what was delivered.”
