S1E19: I won’t call this ‘vacay’




The Ron Flatter Racing Pod show

Summary: Ron is on vacation, but he left behind a new edition of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. National Thoroughbred Racing Association president Alex Waldrop talks about how years of work to cut taxes on horseplayers’ winnings came down to a 48-hour race against the clock. He also talks about takeout rates, medication rules and how the U.S. Supreme Court may rule on New Jersey sports gambling. Peter Rotondo Jr. of the Breeders’ Cup discusses how younger bettors are being lured to horse racing, and he has some advice for horseplayers. The racing flashback remembers Seabiscuit’s last race, Ron has some thoughts about Saturday’s Fountain of Youth Stakes, and he has a story about an odd Golden Gate Fields betting game.
