Down the Stretch for July 10, 2023

Ken Middleton tells us how he got badly hurt in a training accident, what the doctors needed to do to fix him up and when he might be calling races again. We have 2 Stakes races from Woodbine -the Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay. Jump in - the water’s fine! Trainer Mark Casse talks about his epic Canada Day at Woodbine, and he thanks jockey Sahin Civaci. Agent Leroy Trotman is putting his riders on winners and he thanks Civaci. And we thank Civaci for allowing us to interview him! Driver Doug McNair won a free for all with Logan Park, who trotted faster than any other older male horse in Canadian history. How often does this occur - a father and a son riding parimutuel winners in the same week? We’ve got it because it happened to Ramiro Castillo and Alexis Sanchez. And don’t be confused if you go to Mohawk on a Tuesday and see it’s Wednesday or Friday at the track.
