Listen "Episode 81: Rod Craig (Part 1)"
Episode Synopsis
Rod Craig enjoyed the respect of all sections of the racing industry during four decades as a horse trainer in Sydney. He got an early Group 1 with Lady Eclipse in the 1983 Champagne Stakes, and trained a host of handy horses over the next ten years.
Rod’s career took a spectacular turn in the mid nineties, when he came across an Integra colt on a property at Scone. That colt was named Intergaze, and he took his trainer to dizzy heights over the next four and a half years winning eight Group 1 races.
In the podcast Rod talks about the health issue that forced him out of racing a year ago. He takes us back to his early days in pony club, his life in racing and the people he’s met along the way.
Enjoy a two part interview with a true gentleman of the turf.
