Horse Racing Nation handicappers Ed DeRosa and Mark Midland and FanDuel TV's Caton Bredar go through the entire field from the favorite Renegade to the longest of long shots. They evaluate every horse from 1 to 20 plus the four horses who were entered as also-eligibles. How do they think the rail draw may affect Renegade? Will the Brad Cox-trained trio of Commandment, Further Ado and Fulleffort figure prominently on their tickets? Do they think Chief Wallabee will give Bill Mott his second consecutive Derby triumph? Who are the tosses, and who are the value plays? The panel answers all those questions. There also is a snapshot preview of the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is posted every Friday with pop-ups like this one for Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup races. It is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.","meta_description":"Deep analysis of every horse in Kentucky Derby 2026 from the main draw through the also-eligibles is ready to hear now with the hard-core handicappers pop…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":8508,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-ron-flatter-racing-pod-1127686/episodes/s9e29-kentucky-derby-hard-core-handicappers/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ron-flatter-racing-pod-1127686/s9e29-kentucky-derby-hard-core-handicappers.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
