Down the Stretch for October 21, 2024

This podcast covers all 3 genres of horse racing in Ontario and beyond. We have the Ontario Derby Stakes from Woodbine and a nice chat with veteran jockey Eswan Flores who recently scored his first Stakes win of the year. It was Breeders Crown elimination weekend at the Meadowlands and we tell you how Canadians did and how a couple horses blew up the tote board. At Western Fair last week, Sugar Doyle, Ghislain Paquet, Melissa Keith and even...James MacDonald called races. You can decide who did it best...and worst. How much legal trouble did Jody Jamieson get into? The law firm of Hopple, Hopple, Hopple and Fetlock represent the trotter Paquet who was hurt by Jamieson’s post-race comments. The quarter horse season at Ajax Downs is nearing its finish line. Did Diego Benitez wrap up the jockeys’ title by winning 3 times on the 3rd last card? And a bizarre finish at Keeneland as the jockey on a 13-1 shot thought the race finished at the 16th pole. It didn’t and a lot of pick-5 bettors were badly burned.
