Down the Stretch for March 3, 2025

As usual, multiple racetracks, lots of Cancon and compelling people; Bill Tharrenos, Leo Salles, Marty Drexler and Melanie Giddings in the Gulfstream winners’ circle. Kentucky Derby preps from Aqueduct, Gulfstream and Santa Anita. Harness driver James MacDonald hit the 4000-win plateau, won 4 wins on Monday night, but it was all about what happened when he ‘rolled up the rim.’ Brittany Kennedy is a trainer, owner and driver - we talk with her about a great night at the Western Fair Awards Banquet and what it’s like to drive against Natasha Day. And the multi-talented Jessica Hallett tells us about an emotional visit to the industrial zone that used to be her favourite racetrack - Pompano Park.
