Players' Newsletter - December 9th, 2022
I’ve returned from a productive week of discussion at the University of Arizona’s Global Symposium on Racing to get you ready for this weekend’s racing slate. We have a dedicated episode towards the exciting Hong Kong International Races early Sunday morning with guests Andrew Brown, Sean Boarman, and Tim Carroll. We also get you ready for a unique wagering opportunity Saturday night with the cross-breed, G1 double at Los Alamitos.
Also, make sure to check out this great article on In The Money Media with “A Trip Into the Brooklyn Bunker”. It’s a good one!
