Players' Newsletter - July 8th, 2022
A week from now we’ll be a day into the Saratoga meet, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t excellent opportunities to play this weekend!
Today’s Players’ Podcast is loaded with action all across the country coming up this Saturday. That includes a look at the Belmont Park Pick 6 with Matt Vagvolgyi, highlighted by strong renditions of the Belmont Oaks and Derby.
Speaking of Saratoga, our highly anticipated Lifestyle Show dropped earlier this week with all the tips and tricks for the upcoming meet. We couldn’t be more grateful for our friends at Adelphi Racing for presenting.
