In The Money Players' Podcast

Another day, another edition of the In The Money Players’ Podcast. This is the National Horseplayers’ Championship Preview Show and we wanted to get it released early so players could listen on their way to Vegas. There are short interviews with Scott Carson, Michele Ravencraft, Karen Carey, Tommy Massis, Eliot Honaker, Paul Shurman, Shona Rosenblum, Mike Beychok, Nate Newby, and Dave Gutfreund. We hear predictions for this year’s event and learn about their NHC strategies, data preferences, dining inclinations, and caffeination preferences.

It’s a loaded show. First, PTF and JK talk about racing from last weekend, including Derby preps at Aqueduct, Florida and Santa Anita. Then, Pat Cummings of the Thoroughbred Idea Foundation comes by to talk about what racing’s response should be to recent changes in the gaming landscape (HINT: It’s not merely to ask for a slice of the pie). Finally, in a long-awaited visit, we’ve got Steve Byk here to talk about this year’s National Horseplayers Championship and the coverage he’ll be providing (with a small assist from PTF). Make sure you stick around after the credits for an outtake.

A busy week around here. First, PTF and JK talk about stakes races this weekend. Then Pegasus contest winner Preston Simms comes by to talk about how he took down more than $300,000 last weekend. Finally, our old friend Scott Gramling is here to talk about the game on everyone's mind this week -- the Super Bowl.

Trainer Michael McCarthy joins PTF and JK to talk about City of Light and the Pegasus World Cup win. Plus, the guys give their thoughts on the big race and a quick recap of the turf.

On today's IN THE MONEY PLAYERS' PODCAST (see what I did there?), the Peoples' Champ and I talk about all the stakes races on the Gulfstream Park card on Saturday, highlighted by the Pegasus World Cup and inaugural Pegasus World Cup Turf. Then Acacia Courtney stops by to talk about the big weekend, her background, and what she likes to see in the paddock. Plus, the debut of "Too Hot for DRF."

There's a lot going on on the latest ITM pod. Have we seen the Oaks winner? Has JK changed his mind about the roulette bet? Should "Too Hot for DRF" become a regular pod segment? The answers to these questions plus Eddie Olczyk stops by to talk racing and deliver advice that could save your life. . .literally.

The mastermind of the Beemie Awards, Jason Beem himself joins in to talk about horse racing, poker, his background and overcoming anxiety issues. He sticks around with PTF and JK to go over four stakes races from Fair Grounds on Saturday.

Before that, PTF and JK catch up, talk about stakes races from the weekend and go over the wild and wooly ride that the NHC Tour has been this season. Plus, JK trolls a friend.

First up, PTF and JK catch up after New Year's day and answer a listener's lifestyle question about Santa Anita. Then Chris Fallica, aka The Bear from College Gameday, joins in the fun.

On this show, PTF and JK discuss JK’s experience from Opening Day at Santa Anita including a description of a near brawl in the Eddie Logan Suite. JK talks more about how he uses workout reports to help find bets. Also, Buy-Sell-Hold with McKinzie for the Breeders’ Cup Classic and the eventual ruler of the Iron Throne. Plus, obscure pop culture references to Operation, Caddyshack, and possibly Seinfeld.

On the first edition of the In The Money Players’ Podcast, hosts Peter Thomas Fornatale and Jonathon Kinchen talk about what to expect on the new show. It boils down to horse racing analysis – both on the industry side and the gambling side.
