Players' Newsletter - April 8th, 2022
A very exciting and very busy weekend ahead, with Keeneland opening and the final Derby preps being run. As Keeneland gets underway, we’re very excited to partner with Keeneland Select for loads of coverage throughout this spring meet. In conjunction with a couple of excellent guests, we put together a special primer for the Keeneland spring meet which can be found here. Also expect plenty of daily coverage from the ITM team on the blog page.
We’ve also decided to try something new for our late week Players’ Podcast that we think you’ll enjoy. While the podcast will remain the same, rather than one, hour long preview being posted to our YouTube channel, the episodes will now be broken up into the various segments we cover on each show. For instance, there will be a 25 minute YouTube clip covering the three major Derby preps on Saturday, and separate ones for Keeneland and Aqueduct. There’s also a chance to earn a free $100 bet for next weekend by commenting on our Derby prep video! More details can be found in the description.
MYWAYP,
