Down the Stretch for August 22, 2022

Not only did the filly Moira crush 10 others in the Queen’s Plate, she ran the fastest Queen’s Plate ever. We talk with the winning jockey Rafael Hernandez and the trainer Kevin Attard. Visiting jockey Flavien Prat plays along with us as we attempt an interview in two languages. Saturday night at Mohawk provided a full card of eliminations for big Stakes races next week. Marie Claude Auger won the ladies’ race at Mohawk and driver Scott Young extended a very rare winning streak with the trotter Cool Muscle. A great night in Summerside, PEI for Anthony MacDonald and thestable.ca as Sintra won the historic Gold Cup and Saucer. And the greatest father-son combination in Canadian harness racing ran 1-2 in a legends race at Kawartha Downs. Wait until you hear what the all-Waples exactor paid.
