Down the Stretch for June 9, 2025

This podcast goes everywhere. We've got the Fury Stakes from Woodbine and 3 eliminations at Mohawk for next week's North America Cup. Also, Horse of the Year Chantilly in an elim for the Fan Hanover. The 157th running of the Belmont Stakes happened at Saratoga and as a result, we know who will be the 3-Year-Old of the Year in the U.S. We chat with an emotionally charged Todd Ratchford who drove the trotter, Ritchie Rich to a landmark win for his family. We’ve got jockeys in this podcast - Ryan Munger is starting to heat up at Woodbine; the legendary Perry Ouzts just keeps winning as he approaches his 71st birthday and Edgar Zenteno won 4 races in a row at Fort Erie. There were time trials and dead heats at Ajax Downs and when the filly Good Cheer finished 5th at 1-5 in the 11th race at Saratoga Friday, how much show money did she take down with her?
