S8E4: Post-Breeders' Cup drinking game
from The Ron Flatter Racing Pod · host Horse Racing Nation
The annual Breeders' Cup hangover episode featuring a stream-of-consciousness or unconsciousness review of the 14 championships comes to pass this week on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Co-host John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times joins Flatter to go over each race in the hours after Breeders' Cup wrapped up at Del Mar. Of course this is done over a couple glasses of wine, perhaps explaining how many times the two of them use the phrases "good guy" and "great guy." This episode includes discussions about the likelihood of Thorpedo Anna being horse of the year and a debate over whether $7 million Classic winner Sierra Leone rose to the level of top 3-year-old male of 2024. The usual domination of Europe horses in turf races is fodder for conversation, and so are the disappointing results for Japan horses as well as City Of Troy in the Classic. The emergence of some new faces among the winning trainers brings to mind all the good and great men and women whom Cherwa and Flatter reference, inspiring what could be a whole new drinking game. 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.
