PTF here from the Berkshires in England, where I’m settling in for Day Four of Royal Ascot. The old heads would tell me that this is the final day of “Royal Ascot” and that the recently added Saturday (it started in 2002) is just “Ascot.”
Before we go any further – make sure you sign up for TODAY’s In the Money Horseplayers’ Tour game. It costs just $20 an entry, the proceeds go to aftercare and you have TWO ways to win a $10,000 Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge seat. First off, the game is a regular feeder to the Saturday direct qualifier. But also, as part of our Tour concept, the top four finishers each week will advance to our playoffs (a private end-of-season tournament) where a seat will be awarded.
ENTER THIS WEEK’S CONTEST HERE.
We are happy to welcome back Nick Tammaro, who gives his analysis of the contest slate, as well as Dean Keppler, who shifts his Santa Anita gaze to Los Alamitos which hosts two contest races for us this week.
What a great week last week was for the home team on the ITM Horseplayers Tour with two of our Inner Circle – literally and figuratively – punching their tickets to the playoffs. Mikee P had a chance to catch up with Matt Miller over on YouTube (video also available further inside this newsletter).
Congrats also to Julie Loboyko and Fabian Sultan for qualifying last week!
For a full look at the players who have qualified so far you can check out this link – and sign up to play today so your name is on that list next week!
Remember also, you can get up to three entries for the playoffs but can only win one berth in a given week.
MYWAYP,
