The long Thanksgiving holiday brings the traditional changing of
the Thoroughbred seasons in Kentucky, and that is the focus of this week’s Ron
Flatter Racing Pod from Churchill Downs.

TV analyst Kaitlin Free provides insight into the Clark Stakes and
the Kentucky Jockey Club as well as her overarching thoughts on the fall meet
that ends this weekend. She also offers some handicapping thoughts about the
Turfway Park synthetic-track season that starts next week.

Horse Racing Nation handicapper Mark Midland has
tips for the Clark, the Mrs. Revere, the Kentucky Jockey Club and the Golden Rod
stakes, including advice for how to play the races as part of multi-race
wagers.

This episode also features a special segment on Wednesday’s debut
of $3.2 million colt Barnes, who won by a head taking his first step toward a
possible date back at Churchill Downs on May 3 for Kentucky Derby 2025.

Listener and reader feedback also gets the once-over with Los
Angeles Times turf writer John Cherwa providing perspective.
