We kick things off PTF and Matt Bernier going over the trio of Grade 1s at Woodbine on Saturday in a Horseplayer Happy Hour crossover. Then we pivot to a Baby Talk segment, sponsored by Gainesway, where Scott Shapiro of Twinspires chats with PTF about four baby races at Churchill on Saturday as well as the other graded stakes on the card. Next up Nick Tammaro is in the house to go over the Win-Early-Pick-Five and look at their featured race for two-year-old turfers, the Nownownow. Then Alan Studer takes over and talks about the Belmont-at Aqueduct Pick Six with Rob Romano.

Players’ Podcast - The Kentucky Derby Favorite, an Audience with the Queen, and More
We kick off the show with Jim Lawson of Woodbine who gives us an early look at the Woodbine Mile and tells us about that time he had an audience with Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, as we pay our respects.
Next up, Nick Tammaro is here with thoughts on stakes races from Kentucky Downs and Del Mar including his thoughts on Cave Rock, the current Kentucky Derby future book (antepost) favorite.
Declan Rix is here with a view on runners who competed in Ireland over the weekend who may be journeying over to these shores for the Breeders’ Cup.
Last but not least, Kim Weir of TRF tells us how we might get an amazing hotel room for Breeders Cup — accommodations are disappearing fast — and also about a cool party on Friday night of BC weekend in Lexington.
Players’ Podcast - Aqueduct Meet Preview: BAQ in the New York Groove
With apologies to David Aragona (who does not appear on this show), PTF is stealing his pun.
On this special edition of the show, presented by Adelphi Racing, PTF hosts a trio of guests, starting with Adelphi’s own Matt Cutair, who talks about what he’s most looking forward to at the upcoming meet and gives us a stable tour.
Then Nick Tammaro is here to talk about how he’ll alter his approach to this meet and how the different track configuration might effect a race like the Woodward, where Life Is Good will be making his return to the races.
Last but not least, Race Lens power user Matt Vagvolgyi is in the house to take a look at Belmont at Aqueduct by the numbers.
