The last 15 U.S. qualifiers for the Breeders’ Cup will be run
before the weekend is over, and they are the focus this week as the Ron Flatter
Racing Pod originates from Keeneland.
Track executive and hall-of-fame horseplayer Jim Goodman offers a
snapshot of Grade 1 races including the Breeders’ Futurity, the Turf Mile and
the Spinster. He also offers an overarching view of the win-and-you’re-in races
at Keeneland, Belmont at Aqueduct and Santa Anita.
Trainer Gustavo Delgado, who won the Kentucky Derby last year with
Mage, discusses Ferocious, the morning-line favorite for the Grade 1 Breeders’
Futurity on Saturday at Keeneland.
Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch will have tips on part of
the big menu this weekend, including three graded stakes at Keeneland and two
at the Belmont at Aqueduct meet.
John Cherwa joins in to field listener and reader feedback about
last week’s small fields for big races.
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.
