Down the Stretch for August 28, 2023

Lots of Stakes races this week - from Woodbine - the Muskoka, the Elgin, the Algoma and the Simcoe; from Mohawk - the William Wellwood, the Peaceful Way, 2 Nassagaweya finals and a pair of Eternal Camnation finals. We drop in to Saratoga for the Travers Stakes and we visit Ajax Downs and talk with the amazing Ed Walton, the 60-year-old jockey who is still bringing in winners. We’re on the phone with Mark Casse who explains why he could not tip us on his King’s Plate winner or his Oaks winner. Host Peter Gross went to Woodstock, Ontario to participate in some virtual harness racing and the latest issue of Down The Stretch is now on line, and we have an 8-year-old who gives it a good review.
