A great cast of characters in this week’s podcast. Jockey Patrick Husbands won the Sunday Stakes at Woodbine, then used his winners circle interview to give props to broadcaster Jason Portuondo, who was working his last day with a microphone before becoming a steward. How about Isabelle Wenc’s karma? Wenc organized a softball tournament to raise necessary funds for her best friend, Sheena Ryan who is recovering from a devastating injury. The day after the tournament, Wenc won a race at Fort Erie. This podcast has 3 huge milestones – Dave Palone steering his 20,000th winner, Bob McClure with # 3,000 and Doug McNair cruising past the $70 million mark.
We have a lot of Neil Diamond in this podcast, because we have a story about Neil’s Diamond, a horse loved so much by Franz and Danielle Crean, they shipped him up from Puerot Rico when his racing career ended.
