Players' Newsletter - June 30th, 2023
Royal Ascot may have wrapped up last Saturday, but we have plenty to discuss in the aftermath this week. Vanessa Ryle and I looked back on the action in our International Review Show (which also gave us the chance to discuss multiple stakes winner, Looms Boldly!). JK was also able to host our friends from Black Type Thoroughbreds to discuss their Royal Ascot winner, Crimson Advocate, in a special episode of JK+1(+1).
This weekend’s coverage, hosted by JK on the Players’ Podcast, goes over the stakes action at Ellis as well as Monmouth, Belmont, and Woodbine. Also make sure to check out this week’s Harness Players’ Podcast to get ready for tonight’s MGM Grand Messenger and MGM Yonkers Trot.
