Kentucky Derby 2023 preps at four tracks this weekend are the focus of this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher talks about the return of Eclipse Award winner Forte in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park.

Longtime Tennessee turf talker Danny Brewer offers his unique perspective on the move of Bob Baffert’s Derby prospects to other trainers as well as his thoughts about this weekend’s points races.

Super Screener creator Mike Shutty has weekend handicapping advice on the Davona Dale, the Mac Diarmida and the Fountain of Youth.

There is listener and reader feedback, too.

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.
