ITM Players' Newsletter - June 20th, 2025
Royal Ascot 2025 coming to an end :(
My time in England is already nearing its end. I have had a blast attending and covering the 2025 Royal Meeting at Ascot, and hopefully you all have enjoyed our daily content from myself and from my many U.K. punter friends both on the podcast side and on the Plus side (be sure to subscribe to plus so you don’t miss that coverage as always).
A short newsletter this week, since our main focus has been on mid-week racing coverage. I do want to thank everyone who continues to show up for our weekly contests over on Horseplayers.com! We’ve already had a robust showing now three weeks into the ITM Horseplayers Tour and we’re already looking forward to the playoffs later this year.
ICYMI, the ITM Horseplayers Tour is a contest that offers you a shot at a 2025 BCBC seat while benefitting Thoroughbred Aftercare charities. Entry only costs $20. Twenty dollars! That’s basically a Big Mac meal at this point. Keep an eye out too every week for our ITM Horseplayers Tour Newsletter, which recaps the previous week of the contest and offers more information on the current week’s contest along with relevant content to aid your handicapping endeavors.
We’re also happy to expand our blog coverage over on inthemoneypodcast.com! We welcome Rick Tangemen this week for selections over at Prairie Meadows. Expect coverage from him through the 2025 season over there at the Iowa track.
I’ve got to get back to my flat now (or, as you Americans call it my house, my apartment, my lodging!) Mikee P took the helm for our weekly Players’ Podcast, so you’re in good hands while I keep trying to find solid insight to share from Ascot with just one day left in the meeting.
MYWAYP,
PTF
