Turns out June’s loss is September’s thrill. The 161st Queen’s Plate went on September 12 at Woodbine and trainer Josie Carroll not only won with 15-1 shot Mighty Heart, she got the bottom half of a huge exactor when Belichick came second. We have the complete call of the Plate as well as the four other Stakes races on the card. That same night Mohawk offered both the Peaceful Way and the William Wellwood Stakes for trotters and the latter race went to On A Streak who chose a half million race to break his maiden. Down The Stretch stole a few moments with winning driver Scott Young after the biggest score of his career. What did Sandy Hawley sound like 50 years ago when he was interviewed on Hockey Night In Canada? We have that audio and got the 2020 version of Hawley to talk about it. And the most charismatic jockey at Ajax Downs is Tony Phillips, aka TP. He was in full rapping mode after winning 4 races on September 7, including a dead heat.
