Maddy Playle of Racing Post offers a preview of this weekend's British Champions day at Ascot, England, as well as a snapshot of the Europe shippers who will be at Del Mar in two weeks.
Back home, Ed DeRosa has weekend handicapping for races in North America including the graded-stakes card at Keeneland.
Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park are along for listener and reader feedback.
