ITM Players' Newsletter - January 3rd, 2025
Weekend previews of Gulfstream, Santa Anita, and more!
Happy New Year!
We kick off 2025 with a loaded weekend of racing. The Players’ Podcast focuses on Saturday action from Santa Anita, Gulfstream, and Oaklawn. We’ve also got a couple great ITM Plus shows coming your way, with a preview of tomorrow’s Late Pick Five from Aqueduct and Sunday’s Late Pick Five at Oaklawn on tap.
The turn of the new year also means the Derby trail will be quickly heating up. Mikee P and I threw together a pair of YouTube previews for tomorrow’s Smarty Jones Stakes and Jerome Stakes. As in year’s past, Eric DeCoster has assembled an extensive list of early Derby contenders on inthemoneypodcast.com. You can find rankings, replays, analysis, and much more on those horses at inthemoneypodcast.com/2025derbycontenders.
