OTI Gazette | Issue 65

In the 65 edition of the OTI Gazette, we learn more about Tom Dabernig, who has the highest strike rate this season of any Victorian-based trainer (30.99%).

We also address the latest prizemoney announcement from Racing NSW, preview a busy weekend of runners and introduce a dual-Group 3 winning acquisition, Extra Elusive.

A CONVERSATION WITH TOM DABERNIG

“You can not treat racing as a job, it is a way of life. Unfortunately, I have never been able to find the time for hobbies, but I have enjoyed in my new venture being able to bring my family and children into my lifestyle. This has been extremely rewarding.”


NSW PRIZEMONEY INCREASES

“The latest prizemoney announcements by Racing NSW have undoubtedly set the cat amongst the pigeons at Racing Victoria. The increases further widens the void in prizemoney gap between the two states. In doing so, it creates questions from Victorian trainers and owners on why this is happening.”
