Players' Newsletter - May 27th, 2022
Last weekend’s Preakness did not disappoint, and we’re very excited for another great weekend of racing around the country.
On the Preakness front, Nick Tammaro and I did a full fledged recap of the race, what the Belmont may look like, and some thoughts on the Triple Crown structure. Naomi Tukker was also joined by Preakness winning jockey, Jose Ortiz, for this week’s Talk Racing To Me With Naomi.
I would highly recommend checking out The Owner’s Box as well. Michelle and Billy met with our main man, JK, to discuss his foray into horse ownership earlier this week.
Finally, make sure to keep an eye out for plenty of Memorial Day coverage here on ITM. We’ll have a few special shows to cover the plethora of stakes action coming up on Monday.
MYWAYP,
