S7E31: Clem and Slappy and the Preakness

Between the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, a look back and look ahead are on the menu this week for the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

TV analyst Kaitlin Free talks about her uncannily accurate forecast of the Derby in addition to her early analysis of next week's second jewel of the Triple Crown.

Brian Hernandez Jr., the first jockey in 15 years to win both the Derby and the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks, discusses his rail trip in both races, comparisons with Hall of Famer Calvin Borel and his own look ahead to riding Derby victor Mystik Dan in the Preakness.

Super Screener creator Mike Shutty offers his early thoughts on the Preakness as well as handicapping tips for Saturday's Peter Pan (G3) stakes in the Belmont at Aqueduct meet. The race is a prelude to next month's Belmont Stakes.

Co-host John Cherwa and Ron go over some listener and reader feedback, and they also listen to one of the most infamous race broadcasts in history, Clem McCarthy's call of the 1947 Preakness on NBC Radio.

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. This week's episode is sponsored by Xpressbet.
