'Unusual' Stretch Drive: Assiniboia Operators Request Full And Complete Review

The Manitoba Jockey Club, non-profit operators of Assiniboia Downs Racetrack, have reached out to their Provincial regulator, the Liquor, Gaming & Cannabis Authority, to formally request a full and complete review of Race 5 from July 20, 2022. King Witt dropped back to the rear of the field, then re-rallied to finish second, beaten a neck as the 3.75-1 second choice in the wagering. He was ridden by jockey Sheldon Chickeness in a maiden claiming event. The owner Darren Dunn, CEO, is concerned about the sudden change in direction of his horse after the balance of field caught up and the jockeying.
