## Resource

Two Grade 1 points preps for Kentucky Derby 2026 and a long-range view of the Triple Crown are on offer this week on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. The $1.5 million Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn and the $1 million Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park will send their winners and probably their second-place finishers to run for the roses May 2. Gustavo Delgado Jr., a co-owner and assistant trainer of The Puma, talks about his colt's chances in the Florida Derby and his return to the trail that got Mage into the winner's circle three years ago at Churchill Downs. Handicapper David Levitch analyzes this weekend's cards at Gulfstream Park and Oaklawn and offers a snapshot of his Paddock Prince tips. Eddie Olczyk of NBC Sports offers his impressions of the Triple Crown picture as well as whether racing can capture the same sort of international excitement that he covered in the Olympic hockey competition in Italy. Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park have their popular host chat. 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.
