This Down The Stretch Podcast has two huge races from, the weekend. Based on the finish of the Travels Stakes at Saratoga, Tiz the Law is the best three year-old thoroughbred in North America. And, applying the same logic to the Hambletonian, it is a lady horse, Ramona Hill who is the best trotting three year-old. Jody Jamieson gives insight to his spectacular night at Mohawk as well as his take on the innovative Heinz Challenge. Horse racing is a dangerous sport and we find out more about how badly jockey Jerome Lermyte and driver James MacDonald were hurt in respectively scary looking spills. 57 year-old jockey Ed Walton continues to lead all the kids at Ajax Downs. And thanks to Carly Simon for providing sound track to this podcast. If you’re wondering why, you’ll just have to listen.
