Players' Newsletter - September 1st, 2023
Saratoga closing weekend. Pacific Classic day. Kentucky Downs. Does it get any better than this?
We’ve got not one, not two (nor three), but FOUR stand-alone shows available for racing tomorrow. Nick Tammaro and Frank Scatoni preview Del Mar and the stakes-filled Pacific Classic card, Michael Domabyl and Jessica Paquette have Colonial covered, Eric DeCoster talks Kentucky Downs, and Matt Cutair of Adelphi Racing takes a look at his partnership’s runners at Monmouth. This all comes in addition to the Players’ Podcast, hosted by Nick Tammaro, where he and his guests preview Monmouth, Woodbine, and the Spa.
Additionally, there are three track notebooks available on ITM Plus right now. If you’re looking to go deeper with Saratoga, Del Mar, and Kentucky Downs, make sure to subscribe below!
Finally, there is no doubt that this has been a tough time for the racing community. I highly encourage you to check out my discussion with David Grening and Sean Clancy as we continue to process these events.
