The Grade 1 Goodwood Stakes at Santa Anita and the return of a familiar media personality are the focus of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Former FanDuel TV host Ken Rudulph talks about what he is doing now and his thoughts about the sport he used to cover daily. He also weighs in with his forecast for the Goodwood.

Trainer Brad Cox discusses First Mission’s bid to get his first Grade 1 win when he races in the feature at Santa Anita. He also talks about multimillionaire Hit Show’s bid to win the Lukas Classic (G2) for the second year in a row as well as some of his other potential Breeders’ Cup horses.

Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch zeroes in on weekend races at the Belmont at Aqueduct and Churchill Downs September meets.

Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park help go through listener and reader feedback.

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.
