From Santa Anita, the Ron Flatter Racing Pod focuses on the end of a troubled meet and looks ahead to what is next for racing in southern California. Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella offers his thoughts about the ups and downs of the past six months as well as a look at some of his horses, including Omaha Beach. Turf writer John Cherwa of The Los Angeles Times engages in a thorough discussion of how the sport handled the 30 racehorse deaths in the past six months. There is also a sampling of Twitter feedback. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod is available via Apple, Google, Stitcher and at VSiN.com/podcasts.
