Down the Stretch 345 for August 24, 2026

It was the Seaway Stakes at Woodbine and the favourite could see her way to the winner’s circle. An interesting way for Chantal Sutherland to win two races at Monmouth Park. It was Friday Night Stakes races at Mohawk Park and Louis-Philippe Roy loved it.  We’ve got Audrey Cheung telling us about her first Stakes winner in her first year of training and former NHL player Randy Exelby explains why his thoroughbred ownership is working out a lot better than his professional goaltending. Our weekly Ajax Downs wrap has the trials for both the Ontario Sires Stakes Futurity and the Picov Derby. And a Garnet Barnsdale daily double - he calls in from Charlottetown telling us how Jody Jamieson won the Gold Cup and Saucer, and we feature a 6th straight win by the 2-year-old pacer Woodmere Rockit, owned by Barnsdale.
