Players' Newsletter - September 22nd, 2023
It’s a great week to be on the Harness scene with some big money races coming up tonight and tomorrow. Hoosier Park hosts a wonderful card featuring the Harrah’s Hoosier Park Pacing Derby and the Caesar’s Trotting Classic. In addition to talking about those races, and more, on this weekend’s Players’ Podcast, make sure to check out today’s Harness Player’s Podcast for more insight into those races. First Over With Edison Hatter also discussed tomorrow night’s card at Woodbine Mohawk, featuring the $1 million Mohawk Million.
For the Thoroughbred fans, we’ve got them covered at Churchill, Woodbine, and BAQ with the usual cast of characters. As well as joining me for the Players’ Pod today, JK and I had a great early look at the Breeders’ Cup in this week’s HorsePlayers’ Happy Hour. A great watch or listen as we approach those final major preps.
MYWAYP,
PTF
