Players' Newsletter - September 9th, 2022
I’m off to Kentucky Downs this week after another great summer at Saratoga. I want to thank everyone who helped cover the meet this summer on the ITM airwaves, from our live shows, to weekend previews, and our stellar roundtables, the meet was certainly a great success!
In case you missed it, you could’ve caught me at Kentucky Downs yesterday for another edition of Horseplayers’ Happy Hour. I was joined by guests Matt Bernier and Declan Rix to cover the races taking place and talk racing, so make sure to check out the replay below.
Finally, earlier this week I had the chance to sit down with Allan Bernotas of Taylor Made Partnerships to discuss their operations in this special newsletter. Give it a look to see how you can get involved with an exclusive ownership opportunity that provides access to the highest level of thoroughbred racing and breeding in the world.
MYWAYP,
PTF
