Players' Newsletter - December 30th, 2022

As 2022 winds down and 2023 begins, there are plenty of great racing and wagering opportunities over the New Year’s weekend. Nick Tammaro and I have picks and tips for New Year’s Eve cards at Santa Anita and Aqueduct. On the ITM Plus side, Blake Jessee stopped by for a show covering Saturday and Sunday races at Oaklawn.

We have launched ITM’s 2023 Kentucky Derby Contender Tracker on our blog page. This will be your go-to location to find out more on the top three year olds trending towards the Run for the Roses. It will also feature strong maiden or allowance winners who could be appearing on the trail shortly. Make sure to give it a look and reach out with any recommendations you have for the page, at the end of the day we hope this can be a tool for the ITM community to use on a regular basis over the next few months.

Speaking of the Derby, Eric Solomon of ITM recapped all of the December Derby preps here, give it a read so you have a good gauge on the next round of preps in January.

Finally, this is your LAST CHANCE to lock in current pricing for ITM Plus before the year turns over. As mentioned in recent weeks, prices will increase in 2023, but if you subscribe today or tomorrow you will be able to keep the current price. For more info, read below.

Happy New Year to all and as always…

MYWAYP,

PTF

We recently announced that ITM Plus will have a price increase, effective 1/1/2023. If you're an existing subscriber, this will not impact you. You will continue to pay your current rate, be it $10/month, $15/month, etc. You'll always be locked in as long as you continue your subscription. Put differently, this price increase only impacts new subscribers after the first of the year.
