This podcast has the highlights from the 35th O’Brien Awards in Charlottetown. It was a very good night for James MacDonald, Dr, Ian Moore and the filly, Sylvia Hanover. We have Steven Chircop winning at Penn and Kazushi Kimura taking a Stakes race at Santa Anita. The Kingmaker is a new book about Northern Dancer written by Avalyn Hunter and Hunter reveals some amazing figures about the Dancer’s progeny. Woodbine trainer, Ted Holder talks with us about what it would mean to him to win the Sandy Lane Gold Cup in Barbados and the two horses he plans to send to next month’s big race. Garnet Barnsdale helps us explain ‘takeout’ and tells us which tracks treat you well and which tracks chisel your bet down. And if you hit the 11th race Saturday night at Mohawk., you could care less about takeout as a 40-1 shot won with a 105-1 shot second - what did that pay?
