Down the Stretch for January 29, 2024

We’re everywhere this week – from the Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream and the Eclipse Awards in which we feature Cody’s Wish, Kylie and Kelly Dorman and Sofia Vives. Then to Steven Chircop and Bruno Schickedanz winning races at Penn National, Marty Drexler and Raroma Stable scoring at Gulfstream. We’ve got Kazushi Kimura and Luis Contreras winning at Santa Anita. There was over $790,000 bet in the mandatory Jackpot Hi-5 Saturday at Mohawk and when Natasha Day won at over 50-1, the payoff was life-changing. Janaya Gallant is a 20-year-old trainer and her first winner paid over $100. We talk with Rachel Slevinsky, who was chosen by an international company to promote their racing products. And when a sulky disintegrated in mid-stretch in an Aussie harness race, Ben Wallace was reminded when it happened to him.
