## Resource

The 500th episode is celebrated this week with calls to some milestone guests on this special edition of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Voices who were heard on the 100th, 200th, 300th and 400th episodes are brought back to reminisce and look ahead. Breeders' Cup-winning trainer Peter Eurton, Las Vegas sports writer Mike Brunker, game-show producer Laura Chambers, London turf journalist Nick Luck and announcer Rollye James all share stories from the last 8 1/2 years. Conversations range from nostalgic looks back to personal experiences that brought them to the podcast to forecasts about the future of racing and their own lives. The guests talk about what they are up to now and what has happened for them in the time since their signpost appearances on the RFRP. Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park offer 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.
