Down the Stretch for September 1, 2025

We lead off with a monster card from Mohawk, including the Maple Leaf Trot and the Canadian Pacing Derby. From Woodbine we have a 22-1 shot winning the Toronto Cup Stakes. Beau Jangles, Canada’s brilliant 2-year-old pacer ran his perfect win streak to 6. We have John Sikura telling us why his Hill n Dale Farms bought half of the sensational filly, Thorpedo Anna, though he doesn’t reveal how much this cost. From Saratoga, an emotional win by a horse named Attfield over a horse named Schwarzenegger. Curtis Stock talks with us about Ron Turcotte, the great jockey who died last week. Races from Ajax Downs. It was Family Fun Day and the Robertson family probably had the most fun. And we have ladies – Lauren Tritton and Natasha Day - winning harness races at the Meadowlands and at Mohawk, but we wonder why it doesn’t happen more often.
