Flatter Pod: 2 old men are in the Breeders’ Cup balcony

A look back on Breeders’ Cup 2023 and a freewheeling conversation between two aging turf writers fills this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Friend of the show John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times joined Ron in a look-back at the two-day meet while sitting in the dining room of the media hotel in Pasadena, Calif. As is the usual wont of these two, the talk wandered off in all directions while still touching on such topics as who should be the horse of the year. Hear horse-racing media’s version of an old, married couple on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation. It is available via free subscription from Apple, Google and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.
