See a unique video for what turned out to be all the wrong reasons as a mock draft for Kentucky Derby 2025 brings together seven handicapping minds for this
week’s see-it version of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.
Horse Racing Nation hard-core handicapper and
fair-odds author Ed DeRosa will be joined by Chip Gehrke, the Doctor Derby
curator of weekly division rankings.
Five other media horseplayers take part,
including Sara Elbadwi from Fox Sports and the New York Racing Association, Betting
on Horse Racing for Dummies author Richard Eng from Las Vegas, Churchill
Downs analyst and Turfway Park host Kaitlin Free, turf writer and publicist
Alicia Hughes and sports-gambling host and former NFL quarterback Shaun King.
The draft will last four rounds to determine
who will be best positioned to have the winner among their four horses who
could be in the May 3 running of the Derby.
This week the Ron Flatter Racing Pod is available on the Horse Racing Nation YouTube page. New episodes via audio are available through a free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well
as HorseRacingNation.com.
