Down the Stretch for November 14, 2022

Imagine you’re a 16 year-old-boy in Richmond. Kentucky, and a horse named after you wins a Breeders’ Cup race while you’re in the winners circle. We have the inspiring story of Cody Dorman. Hall of Fam trainer, Mark Casse tells host Peter Gross how wrong he was last week describing Casse’s win in the Juvenile Fillies, and Casse predicts an impending Sovereign Award for rookie jockey Sofia Vives. Ho hum, just another 5-win night at Mohawk for James MacDonald, two nights after he won a Stakes race at Dover with a horse that paid…$74 to show. How happy was Allywag Hanover that Bulldog Hanover wasn’t in the Potomac Pace? So happy, he paced the fastest mile ever on a 5/8th track. We’ve got the Maple Leaf Stakes and the Bessarabian Stakes from Saturday at Woodbine, and Ivan Dalos’ terrific horse, Avies Flatter is about to have a new career.
