Down the Stretch for April 28, 2025

from Down The Stretch Podcast · host TMDS

We have full coverage of the Sovereign Awards, featuring Kevin Attard’s great night, Emma-Jayne Wilson, Roger Attfield and Groom of the Year, Victor James. Two days later, it was Opening Day at Woodbine. Good thing we interviewed the new rider, Brooke Bays. Also, Pietro Moran and Michael Copeland and the first Stakes of the year, the Star Shoot. We created an award – it has no trophy and no cash value, but the MWBACITUSBODAW (Most wins by a Canadian in the U.S. by a Canadian before Opening Day at Woodbine) came down to a battle among Marty Drexler, Micah Husbands and Bruno Schickedanz. Austin Sorrie was not sorry about breaking through the $10,000,000 mark in purse earnings and Dave Palone won 9 races last Wednesday at the Meadows, but how good was he the next day? And Garnet Barnsdale tells us why he got to inform the latest harness racing entities that they are about to be inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.
