From "A Day at the Races" to "Let It Ride" to "Seabiscuit," racing movies have had an important corner of the film world. The best of them and some bad ones are the subject of this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Allen Johnson, who has been the film writer for 25 years at the San Francisco Chronicle, and Richard Migliore, the New York Racing Association TV analyst and lifelong movie buff, compare their thoughts and criticisms.

Eleven movies were selected for their review, including:

"A Day at the Races"

"Boots Malone"

"Casey's Shadow"

"Easy Money"

"Let It Ride"

"National Velvet"

"Phar Lap"

"Racetrack"

"Saratoga"

"Seabiscuit"

"Secretariat"

Some films get more attention than others, and where they disagree may be a surprise. They also discuss some movies not provided on the list.

Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park also weigh in with their thoughts about racing films.
