Down the Stretch for September 9, 2024
from Down The Stretch Podcast Hosted by TMDS
A busy week in horse racing is reflected in episode 241. We have the Niagara Stakes from Woodbine as apprentice jockey Pietro Moran continues to pile up the wins. Mohawk had 6 Grand Circuit races Saturday night and earlier that day, Colebrook Farms’ Simply in Front won a $2 million race in Kentucky. The Saratoga meet ended on Labour Day, but not before 89-year-old D Wayne Lukas gave himself a birthday present and Flavien Prat put a cherry on his record-breaking exploits. Jockey Amanda Vandermeersch tells us what it was like winning the Puss N Boots Cup at Fort Erie, then jumping into the infield pond. And the Fort’s race caller, Doug McPherson handicaps the upcoming Prince of Wales Stakes. Host Peter Gross got fed at Woodbine when the new Homestretch Bar and Suites was debuted and just to confuse you, we document how it was Saturday on Thursday.
