Down the Stretch for August 11, 2025

We start with the $250,000 Bison City Stakes from Woodbine, then it’s off to the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame Inductions with owner Brad Grant and writer Dave Briggs. We’ve got jockey Ryan Munger who has been improving his strike rate lately and driver James Macdonald breaks down his Hambletonian Oaks win. A visit to Grand River Raceway on Industry Day when the horses kept breaking records. Longshots that amazed us – Snookered and Amanda Vandermeersch at Woodbine, Aye Eye and Javier Castellano at Saratoga and rider Kirk Johnson has some ‘splainin to do after Princess O Denmark blew a huge lead in the stretch at Fort Erie.
