Flatter Pod: Serling, Little, Levitch preview Belmont Stakes 2024
One final preview of Belmont Stakes 2024 features an expert from
the race’s new backyard, an owner whose horse might be a wise-guy pick for the
race and a handicapper who has become a familiar voice on the Ron Flatter Racing
Pod.
New York Racing Association TV analyst Andy Serling is at
Saratoga, where the Belmont will be run this year and next. He discusses racing’s
early arrival this season, the $2 million classic itself and other races and
horses on one of the best cards this side of the Breeders’ Cup.
President and co-owner Don Little of Centennial Farms talks about
Antiquarian, the Grade 3 Peter Pan winner who has attracted attention from
seasoned bettors who think he may crash the party in which Sierra Leone is
favored. He also discusses his background in polo and how it has helped him in
business.
Paddock Prince handicapper David Levitch has tips for the Belmont
as well as the Manhattan (G1) and Woody Stephens (G1) on the Saturday undercard
at Saratoga.
Ron is at Golden Gate Fields for this weekend’s closing of the
83-year-old racetrack. He and John Cherwa go over some of the feedback from
listeners and readers during the past week.
The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is
