From Las Vegas, the National Horseplayers Championship is center stage on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Former NHC winners David Harrison and Paul Matties join economics professor and horseplayer Marshall Gramm to discuss betting matters and a study that Gramm did that quantifies the impact of computer players at the racetrack.

Trainer Robertino Diodoro talks about Lovely Ride’s bid to pull off the upset this weekend in the Azeri Stakes (G2) at Oaklawn.

Paddock Prince David Levitch handicaps weekend races at Tampa Bay Downs and Gulfstream Park.

There also is reader and listener feedback.

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.
