The Florida Derby and Arkansas Derby, two Grade 1 preps for Kentucky Derby 2023, are this weekend, and they are the focus of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Fox Sports racing analyst Paul Lo Duca checks in from Oaklawn to talk about both preps as well as opening week and the new rules in his old sport, baseball.

National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association CEO Eric Hamelback discusses the latest court fight against the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority.

Super Screener creator Mike Shutty has weekend handicapping as he tries to build on his 8-for-9 streak last week. He looks at the Arkansas Derby as well as two turf races on the Florida Derby undercard.

Feedback zeroes in on last week’s column on 10 ways to turn horse racing into must-see TV.

The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Google, Spotify and Stitcher as well as HorseRacingNation.com.
