Players' Newsletter - May 19th, 2023
Happy Preakness weekend!
We held a wonderful Preakness day All-Stakes Pick 5 seminar on YouTube earlier in the week. Make sure to check that out with myself, JK, John Piassek, and Michelle Yu. I also have a horse-by-horse analysis of the now seven horse Preakness field over on attheraces.com. For our ITM Plus subscribers, another big day picks grid is here with selections from JK, Nick Tammaro, Naomi Tukker, Tyler Whisman, and I for all of the stakes on tomorrow’s Pimlico card. For insight on other tracks running tomorrow, check out today’s Players’ Podcast below.
Finally, our good friends at Black Type Thoroughbreds will be represented in the Black Eyed Susan Stakes just a few hours from now with their filly, Sacred Wish. If you have a moment, I encourage you to learn more about the great work their team is doing here: Black Type Thoroughbreds: Success on the Track and on the Page.
MYWAYP,
PTF

Players’ Podcast - How Civilians See Horse Racing / Preakness Field Overview
We kick things off with PTF asking Jessica Paquette and Jay Privman about horse racing’s current status in the American public consciousness. They talk about how the world at large sees racing, what racing might to do to improve, and how big of threat recent bad news and reporting are for the game they all love.
Next up, Brian Nadeau of Gulfstream Park is here to look back at the Royal Palm Juvenile and Juvenile Fillies — both win-and-you-re-in races for Royal Ascot — and to take an early look at the Preakness field. Is it as simple as Mage versus First Mission? Or could rivals like Blazing Sevens, National Treasure or Perform have a say?
