Flatter Pod: Breeders' Cup 2025 with Biancone, Toffey, Levitch

Breeders’ Cup 2025 brings together 14 divisions of racing into as many races this week at Del Mar. It also becomes common ground for the media, horsemen and handicappers, each of whom is represented on this week’s Friday episode of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

FanDuel TV’s Andie Biancone provides her perspective not only as an analyst but also a morning exercise rider for the likes of her father, trainer Patrick Biancone. She has snapshot thoughts about both days of championship races capped by the $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic.

General manager Ned Toffey discusses Spendthrift Farm’s string of Breeders’ Cup horses, including Kopion’s first try against males in the Sprint, undefeated 2-year-old Tommy Jo in the Juvenile Fillies and the 3-for-3 favorite Ted Noffey in the Juvenile. Toffey even gets a lesson in how spoonerism applies to the colt who is sort of named for him.

Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch analyzes the Distaff and Classic and how the scratch of Sovereignty affects the way he will bet.

John Cherwa from the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park co-host.
