From New York, a preview of Royal Ascot and a review of the Triple Crown are heard this week on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

For the 14th time in the last 15 years, trainer Wesley Ward sends horses to England for the most prestigious five days of racing in the world. He discusses each of the runners who will try to add to his 12 previous victories at Royal Ascot. He even has a hilarious story about a conversation he had with the late Queen Elizabeth II.

Los Angeles Times writer John Cherwa joins Ron for a recap of the 2023 Triple Crown season as they try to put perspective on all the ups and downs of the racing spring.

The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Google, Spotify and Stitchaer as well as HorseRacingNation.com.
