Down the Stretch for January 23, 2023

In this podcast, we feature wins in Florida from jockey Emma-Jayne Wilson and trainer Katerina Vassilieva. We have the Lecomte Stakes from the Fair Grounds, and we advise that Instant Coffee might be nice in the morning, but don’t advance bet him for the Kentucky Derby. Bulldog Hanover will dominate the February 4 O’Brien Awards and we talk with his owner/trainer Jack Darling about the recent announcement that the Bulldog is the next recipient of the Cam Fella Award. Trainer Julia Ezra explains who you can get into her Double Blooded Syndicate for a small price and big thrills. Owner Carol Robertson talks with us about her Had To Be Ivory, who has just been named Canadian Quarter Horse of the Year for the 3rd time. And host Peter Gross made the mistake of running his life-long betting theories past a very cynical Garnet Barnsdale.
