In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we have a chat to leading Victorian jockey Daniel Stackhouse on his upbringing and future goals.
We discuss New Zealand’s return to glory with a massive meeting scheduled for Saturday, preview our weekend contenders, get to know one of OTI’s owners (and writers!) and introduce an athletic 2yo with the O’Shea & Charlton team.
CHAT WITH DANIEL STACKHOUSE
“The most difficult thing is losing weight and constantly having that in the back of your mind. The most rewarding is winning races and putting a smile on people’s faces, which makes it all worth it.”
NEW ZEALAND’S RETURN TO GLORY DAYS
“It is no exaggeration to say that Saturday’s meeting at Ellerslie may be the most significant in New Zealand’s racing history. While the prizemoney on offer is unmatched, there is far more to New Zealand’s resurgence than that. It’s the combination of a number of significant initiatives that together provide confidence to all stakeholders that racing in New Zealand is on the way up.“
