OTI Gazette | Issue 72

In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we have a chat to Liam O’Keeffe (Flemington’s track manager), who is responsible for preparing one of the world’s most famous track’s.

We also discuss the global racing environment post Covid, discuss recent news, look at our winners, upcoming runners and introduce a new colt by gun European sire Showcasing.

All that and much more!

A CHAT WITH LIAM O’KEEFFE

“Organisation is the key to success. I was told this on day one of year 7 and it’s the best advice I have ever been given. A sound turf management plan for the 12 months leading into the carnival will have you in good stead for Cup week.”


GLOBAL RACING ENVIRONMENT

“Like most racing jurisdictions, racing has done well. Whilst there are serious challenges in some areas, most trainers, breeders, sales companies and indeed owners are exiting Covid better off than they were when they went in.”
