He is down to a stretch.

Is the above sentence correct? If it is, what does it mean?

Thank you

The sentence seems to be grammatically correct, but it is meaningless to me. Context?

Hi,

He is down to a stretch.

Is the above sentence correct? If it is, what does it mean?

The writer is probably thinking of He is down to the (home) stretch.

He is down to = he has reached, he only has this left to do

the (home) stretch = the final section of a race, of a task. 'Home' is often omitted.

Best wishes, Clive
