Players' Newsletter - August 21, 2020
Pacific Classic and Fourstardave
Del Mar takes center stage this weekend and we've got a couple of shows you should check out if you're playing, including my chats with JK on Let Loose and Matt on Horseplayers' Happy Hour. I got a chance to go a bit more in depth with Michelle Yu on the Racingpicks.com show where we delve into all five stakes on the card.
Was a pretty quiet week for me, solo in Saratoga, just working away and taking care of Mugs the Handicapping Labrador. One fun new project to announce -- I will be doing the virtual NYC Marathon this Fall! Had a fantastic coaching session with Coach Steve of the NYRRC this week and I'm feeling confident that I can get the 26.2 miles done with a combination of walking and running. There will likely be a charity element as well. Details to follow!
If you're in SAR this weekend, come join us Sunday after the races for a little get together at Walt and Whitman Brewing -- a small donation gets you beer, pizza, and wings. What better way to start a racetracker's "weekend" than that?
