Down the Stretch for May 24, 2021

The Provincial Government has finally relented and allowed racing to resume. Woodbine’s new Chief Commercial Officer, Michael Copeland discusses that and other issues. Trevor Henry, Mark MacDonald, James MacDonald, Doug McNair and Scott Zeron continue to show our neighbours to the south how to drive standardbreds and we have an abundance of evidence. The podcast suffers when we don’t run Chantal Sutherland winning, so suffice it to say, we’re happy this week. It was a great Sunday at Churchill Downs for Canadian horse owners Jim and Susan Hill. American Bruce Lunsford tells the podcast why he loves racing at Woodbine and if there’s a more distressing accident than the one Daryl Thiessen experienced at Century Downs, we don’t want to see it.
