Players' Newsletter - May 28th, 2021
For most people, Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of summer but for horseplayers, it’s a rare Monday loaded with racing action across the country. Before we look ahead to the Belmont Stakes we’re going to enjoy this weekend.
Today marks the opening of Monmouth Park and we’ll have regular coverage of the circuit on the ITM Blog.
And of course, there’s a $115K Pick 5 Carryover today at Pimlico. Make sure to check the site for updated opinions based on scratches and conditions.
The tweet below has been a lot of fun. Fourstardave, unsurprisingly, has a clear lead but we’ve enjoyed hearing from everyone. If you haven’t chimed in yet, let us know!
MYWAYP,
PTF

The ITM blog is a great page to save to ensure you’re not missing any of the daily analysis by the team.
