Thorpedo Anna Aims for History in Travers Stakes, The Chosen Vron Seeks Seventh Straight Win
In this week’s edition of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod, the spotlight shines on two transcontinental topics that have captured the attention of horse racing enthusiasts.
At Saratoga, all eyes will be on Thorpedo Anna as she prepares to take on the males in the prestigious Grade 1, $1.25 million Travers Stakes. Trainer Kenny McPeek discusses the filly’s remarkable run and her bid to become the first female to win the Travers in 109 years.
“Thorpedo Anna is a remarkable filly, and we’re excited to see her take on the challenge of the Travers Stakes,” said McPeek. “It would be a historic moment if she were to become the first female winner in over a century.”
Meanwhile, at Del Mar, the focus shifts to the remarkable The Chosen Vron, who is seeking his seventh consecutive victory. Trainer Eric Kruljac provides an update on the 6-year-old gelding’s preparations for the Pat O’Brien (G2) and outlines the long-term strategy to get him to the Breeders’ Cup Sprint later this year.
Horse Racing Nation’s Ed DeRosa also joins the podcast to handicap the upcoming weekend races, while John Cherwa collaborates with host Ron Flatter to address listener and reader feedback from the past week.
The Ron Flatter Racing Pod is available through free subscription on various platforms, including Apple, Firefox, iHeart, and Spotify, as well as on the Horse Racing Nation website.
