It’s the biggest weekend of preps for the Kentucky Derby, and we preview the Wood Memorial, Blue Grass Stakes and Santa Anita Derby on The Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin discusses his Wood Memorial favorite Enticed, his 3-year-old fillies vying for the Kentucky Oaks and the milestones in his career working for Godolphin and dealing with multiple sclerosis. Daily Racing Form handicapper Mike Watchmaker breaks down all three of Saturday’s preps, looks at the domino effect with Bob Baffert’s Derby contenders and engages in a critical discussion of Mendelssohn’s victory last week in the UAE Derby. The racing flashback remembers the 1993 Grand National in England that formally never was, and Ron reveals a delicious irony about what could happen late this year for Dubai World Cup winner Thunder Snow. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod is sponsored by ForHims.com/racing.
