  • Down the Stretch for July 29, 2024
    Jul 28 2024
    Host Peter Gross lost his voice this week, but no problem – friends and family signed on to get episode 235 off the launch pad. Garnet Barnsdale stepped in to host and his son, Nick broke down 5 OSS Golds from Mohawk Park. Jennifer Morrison filed from Ajax Downs and Jim McKenny recapped the Atlantic Womens’ Driving Challenge. Peter’s family rallied to the cause- son Roger handled the feature interview, grandson, Graham voiced the Stakes races from Woodbine and even Peter’s 101-year-old mother, Marilyn nailed the script when quarter horse trainer Lauren Spada sent out a thoroughbred winner at Fort Erie. Also saving this podcast are Saratoga race caller Frank Mirahmadi and Canadian musical star, Lu Kala.

    A huge card at Woodbine Saturday with Sahin Civaci and Sofia Vives capturing 2 Stakes races each – Vives is the first apprentice to win the Woodbine Oaks. We’ve got a winners’ circle tribute to Emma-Jayne Wilson the all-time purse earning lady jockey, and a 4-win day last week for another apprentice, Pietro Moran. Casie Coleman talks with us about winning the Meadowlands Pace with Legendary Hanover. We steal clips from Unfiltered, the definitive horse racing documentary. How smart did you need to be to bet on Mensa in the Victoria Stakes? And how devastated were bettors in Ireland when a sure winner jumped the fence just before the finish line?

    Emma-Jayne Wilson stands alone; she has broken Julie Krone’s record for most money earned by a lady jockey. James MacDonald steered Legendary Hanover to an impressive win in the Meadowlands Pace. They’re racing at Saratoga and a monster longshot shocked in the first Stakes race. We had more logical outcomes in the My Dear and Ballade Stakes at Woodbine. Trainer Josie Carroll talks with us as she inches closer to the 1000-win mark. A crazy Thursday night at Mohawk when 4 different drivers delivered daily doubles. We ‘sample’ Hot Mic’d with driver Paul MacKenzie and we go to Belterra Park for a history making win by 70-year-old Perry Ouzts. Did a horse really pay $331 to place? And just how funny was it when a horse named Ha Ha Ha won at Royal Randwick?
