Players' Newsletter - December 3rd, 2021
Tough to not start off the discussion with the opening of one of our favorite racetracks, Oaklawn Park. Gorgeous down in Hot Springs as the Fifth Season is set to begin this afternoon. A must visit for any racetracker, a town that adopts racing during its season and embraces the high quality action it offers both from a fan and wagering perspective. With the prospects of decent weather for opening day and a beautiful view from the “hotel turn”, make sure to tune in, make some money and of course cheer on our friends at Ten Strike and Blacktype Thoroughbreds!
On top of the excitement of racing at Oaklawn, I am thrilled to be heading back to Tucson this upcoming week for the Global Racing Symposium. Always great to catch up with lots of great industry members and listen to several discussions on the future of our sport. I have heard about some pretty great Mexican food down in Southern Arizona, any suggestions would be much appreciated!

In her current role as the program director of PATHA’s Turning for Home, she has found homes and second careers for over 3,200 horses. But one horse found his way to her farm and straight into her heart- Dover Point.
