Down the Stretch for April 17, 2023

We have complete coverage of the 48th Sovereign Awards, including interviews with Kevin Attard, Bruno Schickedanz, Kazushi Kimura and Slade Jones. The always accessible Jim Lawson explains his reasons for stepping down as Woodbine’s CEO. Harness trainer Teesha Symes went 4 for 4 at two tracks recently, but gave Peter Gross blowback when it was suggested it was the greatest night of her career. It was last chance time for Kentucky Derby candidates – the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland. Mohawk ran three legs of the Ontario Sired Graduate Series. James MacDonald continues to win in bunches and we couldn’t resist having some fun when a horse named Somebody ran at Parx.
