Down the Stretch for January 8, 2024

In episode 207 – and the first for 2024 - props to Woodbine Entertainment, whose broadcast team won an Eclipse Award for their Secretariat – The Last Race. Honours to trainer Harold Ladouceur, inducted into the North American Indigenous Athletics Hall of Fame. James MacDonald hit the 400-win mark at Mohawk; he was good to the very last drop. Jockey Fraser Aebly was golfing with his dad, Derek when we found him to talk about his good start at Woodbine. A win at Santa Anita for Ajax Downs regular, Ismael Mosqueira, and for this first podcast of the year, we have Psychic Nikki with her horse racing predictions.
