Another virtual win-and-you’re-in qualifier for Kentucky Derby 2023 is front and center on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

FanDuel TV’s Christina Blacker previews the Rebel Stakes (G2), scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Oaklawn.

Spendthrift Farm general manager Ned Toffey discusses Derby prospects and the recent foal produced by Into Mischief out of Monomoy Girl.

Mark Midland of Horse Racing Nation handicaps the Rebel and the Honeybee (G3), an Oaklawn qualifier for the Kentucky Oaks (G1). He also has some insights about betting the Tapeta course at Gulfstream Park.

There also is listener and reader feedback about Bob Baffert’s transfer of Derby prospects and Steve Asmussen’s 10,000th win.

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.
