OTI Gazette | Issue 95

In this edition of the OTI Gazette, we have a chat to well-known Ballarat-based trainer Archie Alexander.

We look ahead to the European sales season, assess our weekend runners, dive into the second part of Tim Holland’s article and introduce a new and exciting filly by Dundeel, who is in the care of Phillip Stokes.

All that and much more to look forward to!

A CHAT WITH ARCHIE ALEXANDER

“Jump outs and trials are a great asset to training horses in Australia; you can really educate horses to a greater level before they start racing. Embracing the technology available has been a big thing for me, from equine treadmills to genetic testing and utilising heart rate and stride data.”


EUROPEAN SALES SEASON AWAITS

“Next week, the team at OTI will be attending the Arqana Breeze Up Sale in France. This sale historically has excelled in offering horses who have gone onto be Group 1 stars. Ironically, while most of the consignors are Irish based, they like to sell their horses, especially those bred in France, to the international buying group who attend the sale.”
