Down the Stretch for August 14, 2023

A week before the King’s Plate, this podcast features the Bison City Stakes from Woodbine. Scott Zeron breaks down his amazing Hambletonian day at the Meadowlands. From the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame Inductions, we chat with Gilles Gendron, Eurico Rosa da Silva, Jack Darling and Frank Salive. A harness race from last Tuesday whose poignancy greatly exceeded its purse - Ken Middleton talks about his 2-year old winner, his sadness over the death of co-owner John Watkins and his ongoing recovery. Race caller Vance Cameron gives us two trials for next week’s Gold Cup and Saucer from Charlottetown - it was trainer Jeff Gillis, owner Mark Ford and driver Scott Young winning both heats. At Ajax Downs, fathers and sons, husbands and wives, daughters and dads winning. And a shoutout to Terra Racing Stable, winners of Woodbine’s first race on Saturday.
