Belmont Stakes Challenge winner Blake Jessee, 36, joins PTF to talk about his big win, life as the racing manager for Looch Racing and his time as a professional bettor in his 20s as well as what we can learn from racing around the world. It's a great conversation that you don't want to miss.

On this week's podcast, PTF, JK and Sean Tugel are talking Belmont. Helping them along are two special guests. First up, Adrian Wallace of Coolmore America is here to talk about Galileo and Coolmore's two recent Belmont (and Triple Crown) winners, American Pharoah and Justify, among other things (5:10). Then Jacob West of West Bloodstock drops by to chat about Serengeti Empress, Intrepid Heart, and a recent purchase (19:10).

It's Belmont Stakes day and PTF and JK are here to go over a whole lotta stakes races (7:10), culminating with the big one (40:15). Plus, bonus coverage of the Woodbine Oaks with Dawn Lupul (48:15) and Monmouth's Unbridled Elaine stakes with Brian Skirka (59:15).

First JK and PT go over the NYRA Late Pick for Friday's races (4:15) but then the real fun begins. Pete gets to interview one of his rock and roll heroes, Southside Johnny, who will be performing at Belmont Friday night (26:30). PTF even has an epiphany about his life at the tracks (46:45). For more on Southside Johnny, go to southsidejohnny.com

It's a surprise false intro from JK... before the ITM gang gets down to the business of reviewing last weekend (19:20) and previewing the first day of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival, this Thursday (39:40). PTF interviews Pat Stich, winner of Monmouth's Pick Your Prize Contest (55:10).

Matt and JK discuss Vino Rosso and the older male division. Look forward to the Belmont and Met Mile. They also handicap weekend stakes from SA, CD, and BEL.

JK and Nick discuss the handicapping process, the upcoming met mile, Belmont stakes, and handicap the Late Pick 5 at Belmont

JK and Tugel discuss Oscar Performance, Millridge Farm, and Horse country with Price Bell. They are also joined by Managing Partner Gary Fenton from Little Red Feather to discuss their operation and the state of California racing.

I enjoy all the shows we present in this space but this one was a particular treat: the opportunity to sit down with one of the most influential handicapping authors of all time, Barry Meadow. If you made a Mt. Rushmore in this category, his face would be on it, such is the importance of his classic book MONEY SECRETS AT THE RACETRACK. Now, 30 years later, Meadow is back with THE SKEPTICAL HANDICAPPER. Written in collaboration with Ken Massa of HTR, the book uses an enormous database of races to put many old handicapping axioms to the test -- and to find ways to help horseplayers in 2019 win more money. If you mention me or the show when you order the book via TRPublishing.com, you'll get a special discount.  In this hour long sit down, we cover a lot of ground including Meadow's days as a professional horseplayers, ways for players to find an edge, the benefits of a value-based approach, and how to deal with the growing amount of computer generated money in the pools. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it.

The new NYRA Bets show is a two parter and the Big A, Anthony Stabile, aka The Beast of the Belmont, is here for both halves. First up, he, PTF and JK go over the NYRA Bets Late Pick Five on Saturday, May 25. When you sign up for your NYRA Bets account, remember you can earn $200 if you use the promo code MONEY. The second part of the show is all about Game of Thrones. If you son't want spoilers, make sure you turn the show off after the closing music hits.

Jake Ballis of Blacktype Thoroughbreds is here to talk about his latest purchase (27:00). PTF and JK talk about races from WO, CD and SA (39:40). Then Brian Skirka drops by to chat about a stakes-laden Saturday at MTH (54:30).

It's another loaded episode of the new In the Ring Pedigree Podcast where PTF, JK and Winstar's Sean Tugel chat with luminaries in the world of horse racing. This week's guests: Catholic Boy's trainer Jonathan Thomas (4:58), Alex Solis II of Solis/Litt Bloodstock to talk Covfefe and others (21:15), and bloodstock advisor (don't call him an agent!)
