The Breeders’ Cup is the main topic this week to start the seventh season of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Hall of Famer Mike Smith, who has ridden more Breeders’ Cup winners than any other jockey, talks about his mounts in next week’s championships.

FanDuel TV’s Joaquin Jaime offers analysis of some of the 205 horses who were pre-entered this week for the races at Santa Anita.

Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch has tips on the graded stakes this week at Keeneland and Belmont at Aqueduct as well as an advance look at his angles for the Breeders’ Cup.

Listener and reader feedback is focused on the retirement of Eclipse Award winner Forte.

The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Google and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.
