ITM Players' Newsletter - December 6th, 2024
Big Saturday at Aqueduct and more!
One of the final major weekends of the 2024 racing calendar is upon us with big races all around the world on tap.
The Players’ Podcast features one of our favorite guests, Steven Crist, as he, JK, and I go over the slew of graded stakes at Aqueduct tomorrow. I previewed the feature on the card — the G2 Cigar Mile — in this horse-by-horse guide on attheraces.com. There’s also great Turfway coverage on the podcast and some overseas thoughts in Japan and Hong Kong.
It’s the biggest day of racing in Hong Kong tomorrow night (or Sunday morning), meaning there’s no better time to listen along to the Hong Kong Racing Show. With special guests like Aidan O’Brien and expert insight from other leading connections, this show is one you won’t want to miss. If you want to get further involved with the racing in Hong Kong this weekend be sure to check out this FREE contestjockey.com contest.
This week also marked the release of the annual ITM Degenerate’s Gift-Giving Guide. Give it a listen for a wide array of gift ideas for your favorite people this holiday season.
