S9E47: Pop-up to examine the Fair Hill 5

In a brewing scandal, a suspicious pattern emerged from races Sunday that put the spotlight on five horses who trained this summer at Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland. The details are examined in this special pop-up episode of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod.

Pennsylvania handicapper Doug Salvatore, who has had a variety of roles in racing, detected the similarities in real time and posted his findings on X. In this episode he answers questions about what he discovered. He serves as a guide through the sequence of races at Saratoga and Monmouth Park.

Horse Racing Nation's Ed DeRosa has been reporting the story this week and joins the conversation to tell what he has learned from an overseas bookmaker who took some of the action and found it to be suspicious.

This episode opens with the sequence of race calls and the names of the characters in this story being investigated by Fair Hill as well as state and federal racing regulators.

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. Regular episodes are posted every Friday morning.
