In The Money Players' Podcast

PTF hosts solo this week. His first guest is Gabby Gaudet of TVG, who takes us through some of the top stories at the Keeneland sale. Then bloodstock advisor Jacob West stops by to discuss a couple of his recent purchases and give us an update on some of the runners he's associated with, including Sweet Melania.

First up, it's a de facto emergency pod with PTF and JK giving their initial stats on the New York Times article detailing Justify's positive test before the Santa Anita Derby. After they try to hit that moving target, JK takes off and Frank McGoey stops by (26:00) to give his thoughts on the WO Mile Day stakes, keeping up with European form, and how to trick your significant other into allowing you to buy a racehorse.

Host Spencer Luginbuhl welcomes Benny Southstreet to talk about his trip handicapping process and go over a handful of two-year-old races from Saratoga this past weekend. Topics include, the importance of CADS, how waiting too long in the gate can be like being in a fight, and how to evaluate first-time starters

It's the worst day of the year -- the day we are the farthest from the next Saratoga meeting -- but PTF is here with special guest Sean Clancy to try to make you feel better. Part racing recap from Labor Day weekend, part look back at the highlights of the meet, part therapy session, we hope you enjoy it as we put a bow on Saratoga and start looking ahead to the Breeders' Cup.

Super fun show to close out our run at the Brentwood (for now anyway) with Peter Rotondo Sr and Lee Davis. They give their thoughts on the Woodward Day card and reminisce about their memories from Saratoga over the years.

Monmouth has four stakes races on Sunday and Brian Skirka and Frank Mirahmadi are here to help you through the card. Brian gives a detailed update on Monmouth's plans this fall and Frank opens the show with a specialty impression: "subdued Marv Albert."

Then Tristan de Meric of de Meric sales is here to talk about his business and especially the impressive recent races of Annals of Time and Crystalle. Last but not least, Robbie Medina stops by to talk Code of Honor and Performer and to needle an old friend.

PTF and JK take a couple of wild tangents on today's shows, starting off with a chat about the ups and downs of Twitter (2:30) and taking another detour to discuss a different way of looking at the Empire 6 that makes Pete's teeth itch (18:00). In between, we hear JK's thoughts on the Saturday stakes races (12:20) and a look ahead to the 2-year-old stakes later this weekend (33:33).
