That and developments with the Fair Hill 5 are the main topics this week on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Woodbine TV analyst Elissa Blowe checks in from Toronto to talk about the biggest day in Canada horse racing. She sets the scene not only for the King\u2019s Plate but also the rest of the stakes on the card and the buzz that it gets every summer. Hall of Fame trainer Josie Carroll discusses her two entrants in this weekend\u2019s race at Woodbine. Even-money morning-line favorite Luster, a two-time stakes winner, is Carroll\u2019s leading candidate to deliver her a fourth victory in the synthetic-course classic. She also talks about the role that her long shot Don Ique will have in the 1 1\/4-mile race. Horse Racing Nation\u2019s Mark Midland offers handicapping tips for weekend races, including the King\u2019s Plate. Listener and reader feedback focuses on the Fair Hill 5, the brewing scandal that was the subject of Tuesday\u2019s pop-up episode of the RFRP. Andie Biancone of NBC Sports steps in as the guest co-host to join Fairmount Park\u2019s Keith Nelson for host chat.
