In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we have a chat to James O’Donnell. A former cricket lover turned AFL footballer and part-owner of OTI’s Dancing Dolly.
We chat about the famous Warrnambool May Racing Carnival, assess our runners over the long weekend and honour our Anzac heroes, including Sandy the Warhorse. All that and much more!
CHAT WITH JAMES O’DONNELL
“As a kid, I always had the classic Aussie dream of being a cricketer for Australia or footballer for St Kilda. The way it played out to become an AFL player was one that is a bit unique and not your standard path.”
WARRNAMBOOL – ‘SCHOOLIES’ FOR THE OLD GUYS
“While Warrnambool will not offer the cream of horse talent that will have raced at Randwick or Flemington the month prior, the passion and excitement more than matches its city cousins. When it comes to crowd numbers, the country club more than holds its own.”
