Can you 'buy' Caulfield and Melbourne Cup success? The answer's probably yes - and the OTI Racing syndicate is certainly going all-out with its buyup of European stayers. Latest news is that top UK stayer Gatewood joins the powerful team of European and New Zealand-bred stayers owned by OTI, including Australian Cup winner Manighar, Queensland Derby winner Brambles, French Grp 2 winner Prairie Star, recent English Grp race placegetters Ibicenco and Quest For Peace, and lightly raced European 3YOs Police Gazette, Martinvast and Studio.
