Deep analysis of every horse in Kentucky Derby 2024, even the also-eligibles, is ready to watch now with the hard-core handicappers pop-up episode of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Horse Racing Nation handicappers Ed DeRosa and Mark Midland and DraftKings Sportsbook director Johnny Avello in Las Vegas go through the entire field from 1 to 20. Plus 21 and 22, who could add to the four also-eligibles who have shown up in the superfecta since the Derby points era began 11 years ago.

How will they play the favorite Fierceness? Will Sierra Leone, Catching Freedom and Forever Young figure prominently on their tickets? Who are the tosses, and who are the value plays? The panel answers all those questions.

The group also has a snapshot of Friday’s Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks and their best strategy for attacking Kentucky Derby 2024.

The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available on YouTube and X as well as HorseRacingNation.com. This week’s episode is sponsored by Xpressbet.
