Down the Stretch for October 25, 2021

This week’s podcast features Stakes races from Friday and Saturday at Woodbine and Canadian content from the eliminations at the Meadowlands for next week’s Breeders’ Crown. Two stories that originated in the OSS Superfinals: Race caller Ken Middleton tells us what it was like to describe his own horse stunning the field in the 2 Year-Old Pace and we talk with all 4 owners of Desperate Man, the $20,000 purchase who won both the North America Cup and his Superfinal. As the quarter horse season winds down, there was a race at Ajax Downs that took less than 7 seconds. Jennifer Morrison’s recap is worth the price of admission. Moira Rose, the incandescent star of Schitt’s Creek makes a guest appearance and how, you may ask, does a classic Seinfeld episode get into our podcast? Not going to give it away, but we can say that trainer Darryl Ezra has a unique argument as to why his horse should not have been disqualified from 1st in a race at Fort Erie.
