From Louisville, the cast of thousands has its annual gathering for the regular Kentucky Derby 2024 episode of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Fox Sports handicapper Chris Fallica offers his assessment of the Derby as well as the memory of his biggest score from five years ago.

Sierra Leone co-owner Brook Smith, Forever Young’s trainer Yoshito Yahagi, West Saratoga’s trainer Larry Demeritte, Domestic Product’s jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. and Fierceness’s connections Todd Pletcher, John Velázquez and Mike Repole are featured in quick interviews from the buildup to the Derby.

Super Screener creator Mike Shutty describes some of the statistical paradigms he uses to come up with potential winners and board hitters for the Derby.

Horse Racing Happy Hour hosts Louie Rabaut and Mike Gandolfo join co-host John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times to discuss the absence of six-time Derby winning trainer Bob Baffert.

The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com. This week’s episode is sponsored by Xpressbet.
