Down the Stretch for April 5, 2021

Another pandemic lockdown means racing in Ontario has been stopped again. Racing continues in the United States and this podcast has three Kentucky Derby Preps, including a mind-blowing upset in the Wood Memorial. Canadians took down races in the U.S. – Norm McKnight send out a winner at Oaklawn, Bill Tharrenos scored at Gulfstream and Chantal Sutherland is also at Gulfstream and she brought home a winner on Sunday. Host Peter Gross talks with Zenia Wadhwani, Woodbine's Director of Corporate Citizenship about the track’s support of students at nearby Humber College. Horse owner Dale Desruisseaux explains why he sold his pizza business to get a slice of the horse racing world. And no one took down as many handicapping tournaments and huge pick 6s like Tommy Massis, who now insists – he’s retiring as a professional horse player.
