The Risen Star Stakes is the first virtual win-and-you’re-in qualifier for Kentucky Derby 2023. On this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod, trainer Tom Amoss talks about Curly Jack, who is his horse in the race. He also discusses Hoosier Philly, the Rachel Alexandra favorite who might yet have a go at the boys in the Derby.

TV analyst Scott Shapiro also previews the Risen Star card. Horse Racing Nation’s Ed DeRosa handicaps the Fair Grounds feature and other weekend races.

Oh, yes. There is a little talk about the Mardi Gras coming Tuesday, plus listener and reader feedback on the Bob Baffert civil case against Churchill Downs Inc.

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