It’s another fully entertaining Down The Stretch Podcast with the Ballade and Alywow Stakes from Woodbine. Jockey Jose Campos had his biggest day ever and driver Doug McNair talks about his extraordinary night at Mohawk -how he won two big Stakes sandwiched around a frightening crash. More McNair in Unfiltered, the OLG’s ground-breaking horse racing documentary which we sample. Woodbine CEO, Jim Lawson tells us how the new gigantic casino will benefit horse racing. We have Matt Kakaley winning 9 of 10 races at Yonkers and 96-year-old Red McKenzie still training winners at Century Downs. How did Jimi Hendrix and Sonny Liston get in the same horse race? And how did the Buffalo Bills direct Garnet Barnsdale to winning ticket?
