The best race yet this year for older horses and the closing of a historic racetrack are the big stories this week on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. The Grade 1, $2 million Stephen Foster Stakes at Churchill Downs has attracted the likes of reigning horse of the year Sovereignty and multimillionaire veteran White Abarrio. It also has Dubai World Cup (G1) winner Magnitude. Ron Winchell, his owner, takes time to talk about the 4-year-old colt and his campaign to be the champion older dirt male of 2026. Aqueduct Racetrack, which opened in 1894, closes for the last time Sunday. Steve Haskin, a historian who writes for Secretariat.com, offers perspective on the course's place in the sport and stories about its more than 1 1/4 centuries as a hub for New York horseplayers.

Welcome to episode 226! This week, author Kevin Bone joins me to dive into the incredible story and engineering behind the Catskill Aqueduct—one of the greatest infrastructure projects in New York history. More than 100 years after it was built, this underground marvel still delivers over 500 million gallons of water to New York City every day, requiring remarkably few repairs along the way. I also cover a hiker's mushroom-fueled misadventure in Harriman State Park that ended with an arrest, recap the results of the grueling Manitou's Revenge Ultra, and discuss soon to start construction at the Scutt Road parking lot.

Reaction to the decision not to send Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo to Preakness 2026 is the main topic of discussion this week on the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Sports Illustrated writer Pat Forde talks about the choices he had to make in writing his story about Golden Tempo's victory last week, especially balancing Cherie DeVaux being the first woman to train a Derby winner and the Ortiz brothers riding to a one-two finish. He also weighs in on the long-term future of when the Preakness should be run. From the National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas in March, the reigning NHC Tour winner Dave Nichols talks about how tournament play has improved his everyday play at racetracks. He gets into handicapping strategies that have been born from his becoming a more aggressive tournament competitor. Super Screener creator Mike Shutty has early angles on the Preakness, and he handicaps this weekend's Grade 3 Peter Pan and Take the A Train stakes at the Belmont at Aqueduct meet. Co-hosts John Cherwa and Keith Nelson join Ron in going through feedback from Horse Racing Nation readers about Golden Tempo skipping the Preakness.

Bob Ehalt of BloodHorse stops by to preview the middle pick 5 on Peter Pan Saturday at Aqueduct.

This week we have wins at Aqueduct by 2O24 Sovereign Award winning jockey Sahin Civaci. Rachel Halden had Kazushi Kimura aboard for a win at Keeneland for Chiefswood Stables. The Eclipse Award winning Pietro Moran is coming back to Woodbine and we know this because he told us from the Keeneland Jocks' room. On Saturday, Moran was at Gulfstream to win a nice little handicap for Gail Cox. The latest inductees into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame were announced last week - harness driver Mike Saftic gets in and so does jockey Richard Dos Ramos. Making it even better for those two athletes - each of them has a Down The Stretch interview. Rideau Carleton is the latest Canadian racetrack to close its doors. We discuss the impact of that with race caller Melissa Keith and trainer Mandy Archer. And those wise enough to follow Garnet Barnsdale's recommendations in the Mohawk Journal were nicely rewarded Friday night. I'm Peter Gross.

Pietro Moran continues to sizzle in Hallandale. Trainers Kevin Attard, Steve Owens and Marty Drexler were winning at Gulfstream. Melanie Giddings scored at Aqueduct. There were two Kentucky Derby Preps - the Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway and the Louisiana Derby at the Fair Grounds each offered 100 points to the winner. No one wins more races than Bruno Schickedanz, but he tells Down The Stretch he does not believe he's favoured to win the Sovereign as Canada's Outstanding Owner, Bruno has a horse named Hunt Master who did something in two consecutive races we have never seen before. What we have seen before is James Macdonald winning in big numbers at Mohawk. MacDonald talks about how he and his fellow horsemen raised money last weekend for the family of driver Hunter Myers. Another harness driver, J.R. Plante found the winners circle for the 3000th time and tells us now that he's getting more comfortable at Mohawk, his passion for driving has been reignited.

Jockey Pietro Moran, who recently won the Eclipse Award as top apprentice in North America went nuts last week at Gulfstream – 9 rides and 5 wins...other Canadians winning in the U.S. - Marty Drexler, Devon Gittens Randy Exelby and Kevin Attard scoring at Gulfstream, and owner Bruno Schickedanz won at Aqueduct and Oaklawn on the same day. The one Kentucky Derby prep was the $500,000 Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs. We‘ve got last week's Women's Day race at Mohawk, which was won by Julie Walker. We already know who will win the Sovereign trophy as Groom of the Year in Canada - we've got a few minutes on the phone with the delightful Rose Day. It was just an $18,000 pace at Mohawk but that win by Ten Carat Garret had a huge emotional impact. Jim Whelan tells us what it meant to win with a horse named after his late son. And Ismael Mosqueira is a versatile jockey. He wins on thoroughbreds, he wins on quarter horses and recently he won at the Quarter Horse awards. Mosqueira was asked to decide what meant more - the award for his riding or the award for his favourite filly.

Monica and Mike positive spin losing! They also talk about spinning toilets, spelling bees, and painting nails.

In this AJNR Podcast Author Interview, Dr. Francis Deng and Dr. Amy Juliano discuss how CT can subtype Menière disease by assessing the vestibular aqueduct and adjacent bone. During normal childhood, the angular trajectory of the vestibular aqueduct progressively narrows; an angle greater than 120 degrees after age 12 indicates adult-persistent hypoplasia and thus the hypoplastic endolymphatic sac endotype rather than normal maturation. A retrolabyrinthine bone thickness of at least 1.2 mm serves as a practical surrogate for a mature vestibular aqueduct orientation, reliably excluding the hypoplastic endotype and identifying ears that do not belong to this high-risk subgroup. In contrast, in the degenerative endotype of Menière disease, retrolabyrinthine bone thickness is more variable and does not follow this simple threshold pattern, so CT features must be interpreted in a broader clinical and imaging context. Read the AJNR articles mentioned in this episode:  "Postnatal Development of the Vestibular Aqueduct Trajectory on CT: Establishing Age-Specific Norms to Distinguish Normal from Arrested (Hypoplastic) Development" "Retrolabyrinthine Bone Thickness as a Radiologic Marker for the Hypoplastic Endotype in Menière Disease".
