Down the Stretch for July 20, 2020

This episode of the Down The Stretch Podcast is proof that a lot happens in horse racing in a week. Host Peter Gross has stretch calls from Woodbine, Mohawk, Ajax Downs, Saratoga, Monmouth and the Meadowlands.. He talks with jockey Darryll Holland who was nursing some bruises after a scary fall. Harness driver Phil Hudon was a little more lucky. He tells us what happened when the bridle on his pacer fell off just before the start of a race. Quarter horse jockey Cassandra Jeschke talks about the best day she ever had at Ajax Downs and trainer Dr. Ian Moore assesses the chances of Tattoo Artist in next month’s North America Cup Pace. Shadow Play, Goalie Jeff, Natural Image, Tall Dark Stranger and Authentic make dramatic appearances and our host makes the point that this podcast hit the airwaves on the last day of his 60s.
