Flatter Pod: Reset Triple Crown; preview weekend stakes
A recap of the Preakness, a preview of Belmont Stakes 2024 and some holiday-weekend handicapping are part of this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod.
From Fox Sports and In the Money Media, New York Racing Association TV analyst Jonathon Kinchen offers his take on the Triple Crown series so far plus some early thoughts about betting the Belmont Stakes next month at Saratoga.
A morning-after interview with D. Wayne Lukas brings us back to the fresh memories of Seize the Grey winning the Preakness to give the Hall of Fame trainer his seventh victory in the Pimlico jewel of the Triple Crown.
Horse Racing Nation’s Mark Midland handicaps four weekend stakes, including Saturday’s Grade 2 Pennine Ridge at Belmont at the Big A, Cliff Hanger at Monmouth Park and Keertana at Churchill Downs as well as Monday’s Winning Colors (G3) at Churchill.
John Cherwa and Ron go over listener and reader feedback about the future of Pimlico, the disagreement over track conditions on Preakness day and the Lukas interview in the middle of this episode.
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.
