    May 1, 2018 CHRIS MCCARRON JOINS TEAM VALOR INTERNATIONAL, STARTS THIS WEEK HALL OF FAME RIDER JOINS EXECUTIVE TEAM AT KENTUCKY HOME BASE HIRE PART OF RESHAPING AND REFOCUSING AS STABLE REINVENTS ITSELF Chris McCarron has joined Team Valor International and will be part of the executive team of the far- flung organization. He starts this week and will be involved at Churchill Downs, where the operation races three runners (two in stakes) this week in Louisville. “As a Hall of Fame inductee and as the rider of such legendary racehorses as Alysheba and John Henry, Chris is one of the most recognizable people in racing,” CEO Barry Irwin said. “But it is for his abilities as a communicator, his horsemanship and his drive as an organizer that he has been brought aboard. “I have worked alongside Chris as part of the initiative to introduce Federal legislation to rein in the use of legal and illegal drugs in our sport and I have been very impressed with his communication skills and his passion for the best aspects of our game.” McCarron’s most recent major career achievement in racing came when he realized a nearly life-long dream of establishing and nurturing America’s first school for jockeys. Named the North American Racing Academy, it is the only school where aspiring jockeys can earn a college degree. McCarron started NARA in 2005 and left it in safe hands in 2014. He continues to be an overseer of NARA. After retiring from a record-breaking and storied career as a jockey, McCarron served a stint as general manager at Santa Anita.

The show airs each Saturday morning on satellite radio from ten a.m. to noon. If you’re still in your car for the 5:05 post time of the Grade III Gotham for three- year-olds, follow the race when Finley and Johnson return to cover the action at Aqueduct. SiriusXM subscribers can listen on Sirius 93 and XM 209 or online at www.siriusxm.com. The $400,000 Gotham is often a stepping stone to the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Show producer Ed Pappas explains the coverage, saying “The Gotham has never before been a part of our Road to the Derby package, but when you get a $400,000 purse and a great field that includes the 2-year-old champion, it’s a race you have to include.” Down the Stretch will return to Aqueduct Racetrack on April 7 for the Grade-1 $1 million Resorts World Casino New York City Wood Memorial.
