Down the Stretch for May 16, 2022

This podcast features races from Woodbine, Mohawk and Ajax Downs. We have the Jacques Cartier Stakes from Woodbine, and some huge payoffs thanks to Chantal Sutherland, Trevor Henry and Sylvain Filion. Larry Collmus breaks down his historic and spine-tingling call of 80-1 shot Rich Strike in the Kentucky Derby. Jennifer Morrison explains – logically - why she bet on Rich Strike and Morrison also provides Opening Day stuff from Ajax Downs. Jockey Isabelle Wenc describes how badly her friend Sheena Ryan was hurt and how you can help with a Go Fund Me project. We give props to a lot of jockeys who don’t challenge for the riding title. In this podcast, we feature wins by Sunny Singh, Kirk Johnson, Keveh Nicholls, Shawn Bridgmohan, Corey Jordan, Antonio Gallardo, Eswan Flores, Larry Munoz and Nicky Alderson, who won a race with her first ride in 20 months. Jockey Declan Carroll has landed at Woodbine and he delivered a $59 winner early in the meet. We needed to talk to him about that. And the Ontario Regional Drivers Championship needed all 11 races at Western Fair to determine which drivers will go to the Nationals in November. We’ll tell you how Louis Philippe Roy pulled it off.
