Down the Stretch for June 17, 2024
from Down The Stretch Podcast · host TMDS
We had another great North America Cup at Mohawk on a night of big money Stakes races. Imagine being John Fielding, the owner of NA Cup winner Nijinsky and you had to watch the race from a wedding in Massachusetts. Driver James MacDonald won a pair of Stakes races Friday at the Meadowlands and scored 3 more wins Saturday at Mohawk. Jockey Rachel Slevinsky is from St. Abert, Alberta; we’ve got her winning at Hawthorne on her birthday. At Ajax Downs last Wednesday, a natural hattrick for Diego Benitez and an unusual double for his younger brother, Christian. We go to Belterra Park where Perry Ouzts, who is almost 70, won 3 times on the same card, and moments of profound relief from Grand River – one horse broke a 53 race losing streak, then another snapped off a 69-race bummer.
