Down the Stretch for December 4, 2023

Stakes races for 2-year-olds from Woodbine. Three jockeys – Emma-Jayne Wilson, Desean Bynoe and Rachel Slevinsky talk about their scary race-related accidents – all three injured in November. Owner Lou Tucci won the Queen’s Plate with Midnight Aria 10 year’s ago and has a chance to double up with a King’s Plate win after his Babbo won the Coronation Futurity. We had two longshots in the first 3 races last Thursday night at Mohawk – prices so huge, no one hit the Pick-3. Jockey Justin Stein has burst out of his long slump; in fact, recently he’s practically torrid. Nikki Cowper is the owner, trainer and exercise girl for a horse named Seattle Signal and when that filly won at 24-1, it was her first thoroughbred win. And who many people named Miller need to win on the same night before you crack open a beer?
