From Baltimore, two Kentucky Derby-winning connections are among the guests previewing Preakness 2024 on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Mystik Dan’s trainer Kenny McPeek and co-owner Sharilyn Gasaway talk about the experience of winning the Derby as well as their colt’s chances of continuing his quest to become U.S. racing’s 14th Triple Crown champion.

Jimmy Barnes, the longtime assistant to trainer Bob Baffert, discusses Imagination being in the Preakness and Muth being out of the race because of a fever this week. He also offers behind-the-scenes insight about the challenges of shipping horses in the past three years.

1/ST Racing TV analyst Ron Nicoletti provides his thoughts about the Preakness and provides some color about what makes the week leading up to the race unique among the Triple Crown races.

Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch rolls out his tips for the Pick 4 building to Saturday’s Preakness.

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 episode and the preceding pop-up show with analysis of every horse in the Preakness are sponsored by Xpressbet.
