Down the Stretch for June 12, 2023
from Down The Stretch Podcast Hosted by TMDS
This week, we are amazed by the women in horse racing – When Arcangelo won the Belmont Stakes, Jena Antonucci became the first female trainer to win a U.S. Triple Crown race. Too bad FOX tv blundered historically with its presentation. Three women - Sofia Vives, Skye Chernetz and Emma-Jayne Wilson brought in pricey horses at Woodbine. Women trainers won 3 of 4 eliminations at Mohawk for the North America Cup and we have a $200,000 race at Northfield, Ohio won by Lauren Tritton. Melanie Pinto is featured for her 2 wins last Tuesday at Fort Erie. But there is room for men to succeed in horse racing - Jason Pascoe is crushing it at Ajax Downs and we grill Michael Copeland, the man who will replace Jim Lawson as CEO of Woodbine. And how would you have called a race in which one of the horses was named Sumomomomomomomomomo?
