Thorpedo Anna’s run against males and The Chosen Vron’s bid for a seventh consecutive victory provide transcontinental topics for this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

At Saratoga, trainer Kenny McPeek discusses Thorpedo Anna’s start Saturday in the Grade 1, $1.25 million Travers Stakes, a race that has not been won by a filly in 109 years. He also provides an update on Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan.

At Del Mar, trainer Eric Kruljac talks about The Chosen Vron, who races Saturday in the Pat O’Brien (G2). He also outlines the long-term strategy of how he plans to get the 6-year-old gelding to the Breeders’ Cup Sprint this fall on the same track as this weekend’s race.

Horse Racing Nation’s Ed DeRosa handicaps the Travers, the Pat O’Brien and the H. Allen Jerkens Memorial (G1). John Cherwa joins Ron to go through some of the listener and reader feedback from the past week.

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.
