On this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod, breeder-owner Bruce Lunsford discusses the immediate past and future for Pegasus World Cup winner Art Collector as well as his Kentucky Derby 2023 prospect Classic Legacy who races in this weekend’s Sam F. Davis Stakes (G3), a points prep at Tampa Bay Downs.

Maggie Wolfendale-Morley of Fox Sports and the New York Racing Association is at Aqueduct to preview this weekend’s Withers Stakes (G3), another Derby points prep and offer a look back at the Eclipse Awards that she co-hosted last month.

Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch handicaps weekend races at Aqueduct, Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs, including the Withers and the Sam F. Davis.

There also is listener and reader feedback on the Bob Baffert vs. Churchill Downs Inc. federal case that was argued in a Kentucky courtroom last week.

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.
