Players' Newsletter - January 13th, 2023
In case you hadn’t heard, the Saturday card at Santa Anita was cancelled due to weather. That means the lone Coast-to-Coast Pick 5 will take place on Sunday, which JK and I covered on this week’s Players’ Podcast.
Also, for those who have been requesting, we now have a dedicated page to The Marshall Gramm Interviews on inthemoneypodcast.com. The most recent episode, featuring our good friend Nick Tammaro, can be found here.
Finally, I just wanted to give another reminder to bookmark the In the Money Kentucky Derby Contender Tracker. It is updated daily with every development from hot maiden races, impressive allowances, and all three year old stakes races. The tracker is easily the best place to keep track of what this crop of Triple Crown hopefuls is up to.
MYWAYP,
PTF
