Down the Stretch for April 15, 2024

We start with the last Kentucky Derby Prep – the Lexington Stakes, then go to Santa Anita for a win by Kazushi Kimura and an interview with the multi-skilled Ismael Mosqueira. The Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame has revealed the finalists for the next wave of induction. Harness horse owner Brad Grant discusses his chances and Carolyn Filice tells Down The Stretch how thrilled her family is that her father, Sam Lima is a finalist. With the Woodbine Thoroughbred season beginning on April 27, we’ve got Patrick Husbands warming up with a win at Gulfstream. Two stories this week from Ric Chapman in Australia – the 8-figure sale price of the first foal from super horse Winx and an amazing win by a 6-year-old mare in a $5million race at Randwick. And, when an 83-year-old driver wins a race, you can bet it gets featured in this podcast.
