Down the Stretch for February 13, 2023

This podcast features win at Gulfstream from Chantal Sutherland, Emma-Jayne Wilson, and Martin Drexler. We have stretch calls from Kentucky Derby preps at Aqueduct, Tampa Bay and Golden Gate. Harness trainer Carmen Auciello talks about the upcoming New Holland pacing and trotting series at Mohawk and what it’s like to be the runner-up year after year in the O’Briens to Richard Moreau. Michael David is the son of long-time local jockey, Daniel David and because we saw his Facebook page, we called him to talk about his riding career. Jessica Paquette is the only full-time female announcer in the U.S. Her race calls are sharp and her interview in this podcast is fascinating. And how did we edit in Chuck Berry, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney into a story about a pacing mare that won 17 straight?
