Players' Newsletter - December 2nd, 2022
We’ve reached December and that means the holiday season is upon us! This week’s early podcast will be of interest to all the gift givers out there if you haven’t already listened. JK joined me to discuss the ultimate gifts for the horseplayer, and then Jennifer Kelly stopped in for her annual gift giving guides. Check them all out here:
Holiday Gifts for the Horse Lover: A Great Year to Give Books
Gifts for the Bookish: 2022 Holiday Book Guide
2022 Horsey Holiday Gift Guide
I’ll also be journeying out west next week to speak on a panel at the annual Global Symposium on Racing. It will be a great opportunity for decision makers in racing to hear from the horseplayer! Two wonderful friends of ITM will also be there, as Jessica Paquette will be moderating and Marshall Gramm is a fellow panelist. For more information, head to racingsymposium.com.
