‘Barn Stories,’ Ep. 96: Scenes from the backstretch

Enjoy a unique glimpse "behind the scenes" at a racetrack from a youngster's perspective

If you’ve ever wondered about the magic of backstretch life, you’re in for a treat. In this episode, a woman reflects on her experience growing up at a racetrack. In the shedrow, a fast-paced world comes alive early every morning with grindingly hard work and everyday challenges, triumphs and disappointments.

Rising above it all is the authentic connection between horses and the people who care for them.
