From Keeneland to British Champions day to the Breeders’ Cup, important autumn races are the focus of this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Trainer Brendan Walsh talks about Distaff-bound Pretty Mischievous and his other contenders for next month’s championship races at Santa Anita.

Racing Post turf writer Maddy Playle checks in from England to provide insight into the season-ending card at Ascot, including the Queen Elizabeth Stakes and British Champion Stakes, the last win-and-you’re-in races for the Breeders’ Cup Mile and Turf. She offers an in-depth look at all five of the big races on the card.

Horse Racing Nation’s Ed DeRosa handicaps weekend races at Keeneland, including the Raven Run (G2) and the Perryville Stakes.

Listener and reader feedback is focused on jockey Frankie Dettori’s decision to postpone his retirement from racing.

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