Flatter Pod: Hazelton, Demeritte, Midland talk BC qualifiers

Fifteen races will bring the Breeders’ Cup qualifiers in the U.S. to a climax this week, and they are the focus of this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod, which originates from Keeneland.

FanDuel TV’s Scott Hazelton is based this month at the Kentucky track, where he looks at the Breeders’ Cup divisions and specifics on some of the big races this weekend.

Larry Demeritte is one of the first Black trainers to have won a Kentucky Derby prep. He and West Saratoga, who finished first last month in the Iroquois (G3), try to go one better this weekend in the Breeders’ Futurity (G1) at Keeneland.

Horse Racing Nation’s Mark Midland handicaps some of the weekend races that he expects may yield big profits, and listener and reader feedback focuses on the ever-changing landscape of racing coverage.

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