Episode description

Three weeks before Kentucky Derby 2023, the Ron Flatter Racing Pod examines the prep trail that made Forte the favorite for the May 6 classic.

Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. discusses his Florida Derby (G1) victory riding the Eclipse Award winner.

Longtime turf writer and publicist Jennie Rees discusses the Final Fractions Theory that she pioneered and how it may impact handicapping for this year’s classic. She also talks about changes in the points system this year and how it affected the end of the road to the Derby.

Handicapper Ed DeRosa also talks about the qualifying system in addition to offering tips on the Jenny Wiley (G1) and Lexington (G3) at Keeneland and the Apple Blossom Handicap (G1) at Oaklawn.

Listener and reader feedback is also on this episode.
