The long Thanksgiving holiday brings the traditional changing of the Thoroughbred seasons in Kentucky, and that is the focus of this week’s Ron Flatter Racing Pod from Churchill Downs.

TV analyst Kaitlin Free provides insight into the Clark Stakes and the Kentucky Jockey Club as well as her overarching thoughts on the fall meet that ends this weekend. She also offers some handicapping thoughts about the Turfway Park synthetic-track season that starts next week.

Horse Racing Nation handicapper Mark Midland has tips for the Clark, the Mrs. Revere, the Kentucky Jockey Club and the Golden Rod stakes, including advice for how to play the races as part of multi-race wagers.

This episode also features a special segment on Wednesday’s debut of $3.2 million colt Barnes, who won by a head taking his first step toward a possible date back at Churchill Downs on May 3 for Kentucky Derby 2025.

Listener and reader feedback also gets the once-over with Los Angeles Times turf writer John Cherwa providing perspective.

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.
