The road to the Kentucky Derby goes through the Fair Grounds in New Orleans for Saturday's Lecomte Stakes. Track TV host and handicapper Joe Kristufek provides a preview of the race on this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Jockey Joel Rosario talks about riding the favorite Accelerate next week in the $9 million Pegasus World Cup and taking winter-book favorite Game Winner on the Derby trail. The Racehorses by the Letters feature looks at the best horse ever starting with the letter "K." There is also a commentary on Churchill Downs Inc.'s objection that forced DraftKings to take down its Derby futures in Mississippi. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod is available at Apple, Google Play, Stitcher and VSiN.com/podcasts.
