Players' Newsletter - November 24th, 2023
Happy belated Thanksgiving to all!
The recent show I did with Sean Boarman got by far the most response of any show I've ever done. Many of you followed up with questions for Sean. Sesan has graciously agreed to do a follow up pod focused on these Q and As.
If you have a question for Sean, hit us up by commenting on this newsletter and we'll add it to the list. NOTE: If you already asked me directly, feel free to ask again as things have a tendency to fall through the cracks.
We have plenty of weekend coverage from all of your favorite tracks, plus took a look at the the Kentucky Downs Future Wager Pools that end on Sunday. Finally, while he meet has already begun at Tampa Bay Downs, make sure to check out our very informative meet preview below.
MYWAYP,
