"The backstretch banter was [he] may have the better horses, but will he be ready to go? It's like Spring Training for him."

On today's Trot Radio, Norm Borg previews the Western Regional Driving Championship with Fraser Downs' Dan Jukich. In handicapping the races, Jukich gave the morning line edge to Manitoba's Dallas McGee.

"When we went through the program, Dallas has got the morning line favourite on two of the eight, he's got a second choice in one of the races and a third choice in another."

The full breakdown of the races with Borg and Jukich is available below.
