Mark and Pauline O'Connor have been breeding for over 20 years under the Denario brand. In this episode of Well Bred we talk to Mark about the history of Denario breeding and also his reasons for donating the proceeds of Lot 349 at this year's NZB Standardbred Yearling sales to The Hawthorndale Trust to help raise money for their new and unique dementia facility in Invercargill.
