Players' Newsletter - October 27th, 2023
It’s Monster Pod time!
Fourteen different guests joined JK and I to deliver previews of all fourteen Breeders’ Cup races. We’ve broken it up into two parts and you can access them below. If you’d rather easily view individual race previews with our guests, check out our YouTube page.
You can find even more Breeders’ Cup content from In the Money Media in our dedicated section below.
This weekend is highlighted by racing from Belmont at the Big A, Keeneland, Woodbine, and Japan with tomorrow night’s Tenno Sho. Nick Tammaro handled the Players’ Podcast covering those tracks while joined by a few ITM regulars. On the harness side, the 2023 Breeders’ Crown takes place over the next two days and Edison Hatter was joined by a great cast of guests to preview all of the major races.
Finally, earlier in the week I was joined by Howard Kravets to discuss his show with Cody Dorman’s family as the career finale of Cody’s Wish approaches. You can catch the replay of that here.
MYWAYP,
PTF

It's the season finale of Horseplayer Happy Hour and another direct qualifier to the BCBC with the house cut going to charity.
