Flatter Pod: On 3 continents with Oisín Murphy, previews, tips

Three continents and 14 time zones are spanned on one episode with this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Flying to the U.S. to ride Mawj in the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland, three-time U.K.-champion jockey Oisín Murphy discusses the race and his possibilities for the Breeders’ Cup next month at Santa Anita.

At $12.8 million, The Everest is the richest turf race in the world, and it will be run this weekend in Australia. That is where RSN927’s Matt Stewart, who has spent 30 years covering racing, offers a preview of that feature in Sydney as well as the big races in the Melbourne Spring Carnival during the coming weeks.

Paddock Prince tips come from David Levitch, who focuses on the late Pick 4 on Saturday at Keeneland. The QEII will be among the races he handicaps.

Listener and reader feedback focuses on Keeneland and the changing of the guard in the older-females division from Nest to Idiomatic.
