Acacia Cl\u00e9ment from Fox Sports and the New York Racing Association TV team discusses the Whitney rematch of Magnitude against his three closest pursuers from the Stephen Foster (G1). She also talks about other highlights on the card that includes three other Grade 1 races. Nitrogen is not to be missed as she tries to become the seventh female horse ever to win the Whitney. General manager Jonathan Green from D.J. Stables talks about why he and trainer Mark Casse decided this would be a good spot for their 4-year-old filly. Ed DeRosa takes his turn in the handicapping rotation. In addition to offering tips for the Whitney and other weekend races, he weighs in on the story of the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes being the centerpieces of the latest alliance between Churchill Downs Inc. and the New York Racing Association. The late jockey Robby Albarado is remembered with an archived interview from the Eclipse Awards in January 2009, when Curlin was honored as the horse of the year for the second time in a row. Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park offer their thoughts about where this week\u2019s developments leave the Triple Crown. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is sponsored by 1\/ST BET. It is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.
