Players' Newsletter - New Year's Eve, 12/31
With a new year comes new horizons, lots of promise for many horses celebrating their universal birthday as the clock strikes midnight throughout the northern hemisphere. Despite a new year with new resolutions, I am happy to have the ITM team firing on all cylinders going into the holiday. Have thoroughly enjoyed recording several shows on Plus with Nick Tammaro for carryovers for Aqueduct, as well as great racing around the country.
As the Kentucky Derby trail begins on New Year’s Day with the Jerome and Smarty Jones, we look forward to another exciting season ahead. We were fortunate enough to get a glimpse of potential glory in the dominance of Flightline and look forward to who will emerge as the dominant 3 year old of the division in 2022. So much unknown in this world, but lots of promise as well. A happy new year from myself, my family and everyone here at In The Money Media. We hope you have a great night and lots of wagering success in 2022. If 2021 didn’t produce your best ROI, tomorrow’s a clean slate!
for the final time in 2021, MYWAYP,

Players’ Podcast: What’s Going on with HISA?
In a special edition of the show, PTF is joined by owner Craig Bernick, horseman Gary Fenton, and journalist Jay Privman to let players know about what’s going on with the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority in the light of last week’s announcement about USADA involvement (or lack thereof).
It’s a lively discussion, a little contentious at times, that is sure to leave horseplayers better informed on the topic, and includes a little free consulting to the authority itself.
