S7E49: Girl meets boys 2.0

The Ron Flatter Racing Pod

The Labor Day holiday brings the Grade 1, $1 million Pacific Classic at Del Mar, opening week at Kentucky Downs and closing weekend at Saratoga. They also are conversation starters this week for the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

FanDuel TV’s Christina Blacker offers local knowledge from Del Mar, including her assessment of the summer season and her thoughts about the mare Adare Manor taking on males Saturday in the Pacific Classic.

Adare Manor’s jockey Juan Hernández discusses the race and his success in both Northern and Southern California.

Super Screener creator Mike Shutty has weekend handicapping for Del Mar, Kentucky Downs and Saratoga.

John Cherwa joins Ron to field listener and reader feedback about last week’s Travers (G1) and trainer Kenny McPeek’s plan to ease Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan back to racing this winter.

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.
