THE harness racing industry was saddened to learn of the sudden passing of former trainer-driver Oscar Gatt on Monday afternoon, aged 79.
Oscar was tragically killed in a car accident, just a month out from his 80th Birthday.
He trained and drove countless winners during his time in the sport.
Some of Oscar’s better performed horses were Izar De Pone, Undertaker and Post And Rail.
Oscar was 72-years-old when he drove his last winner which was Cosmic Beauty at Penrith in May, 2009.
The Maltese-born drove in races until he was 73-years-old.
To all of Oscar’s family and friends, Harness Racing NSW passes on its deepest condolences.
