Players' Podcast - Royal Ascot 2026 Recap

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 13:20:00 -0400

A full-card Royal Ascot 2026 recap. Michael Adolphson joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to go race by race through the meeting — the winners, the tough beats, and the cross-form clues that point all the way to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. From Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock in the Queen Anne to Mission Central's King Charles III Stakes win, Bow Echo's gutsy St James's Palace, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, Scandinavia's stretch duel in the Gold Cup, Venetian Sun in the Commonwealth Cup, Precise in the Coronation, Almeraq's 25/1 Jubilee, and the American story of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward in the Palace of Holyroodhouse — plus the Norfolk and the next generation of juvenile sprinters. Michael breaks down where each of these horses might land on the road to Keeneland, which trips suit, and the Win-and-You're-In picture across the meeting. Essential viewing for handicappers, bettors, and anyone following European Breeders' Cup form lines through the summer.

Players' Podcast - Royal Ascot 2026 from the Data

Total Performance Data analyst Adam Mills joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to break down the meeting's biggest performances — finishing speeds, top speed, stride length and stride frequency — and what the numbers reveal about the road to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. We dig into the puzzling Queen Anne Stakes and Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock, explain exactly what "finishing speed" measures and why US dirt and European turf races run so differently, then turn to the Win-and-You're-In angles: Mission Central in the King Charles III Stakes, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, and the gamble of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward's electric sprint in the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Throughout, the conversation is about cross-form clues: which Ascot winners actually project to Keeneland, and which might get found out around a bend. A must-listen for handicappers, data-driven bettors, and anyone tracking the 2026 Breeders' Cup form lines.

Players' Podcast - Belmont Stakes 2026 Weekend Reaction & Recap

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 11:25:00 -0400

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by handicapper and horseplayer Nick Tammaro to take a look back at a loaded weekend of horse racing action from the Belmont Stakes Festival meeting at Saratoga!

The pair go over some of the highlight stakes performances from the weekend and of course later discuss how the 3-year-old division is shaping since Kentucky Derby 2026 winner Golden Tempo proved his last-to-first rally was no fluke by winning Belmont Stakes 2026 over Commandment and Renegade, who was foiled as the favorite in both the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. Trainer Cherie DeVaux again made history by winning two of the three jewels of horse racing's Triple Crown and becoming the second woman to ever train a winner in the Belmont Stakes, the first being Jena Antonucci when Arcangelo won Belmont Stakes 2023. The pair of wins in the Triple Crown by Golden Tempo again raises the discussion on whether the string of the Triple Crown as we know it is a viable series under current training standards and preferences, sparking debate that comes down to whether the history and pageantry of the Triple Crown should be set aside to create a run of races that attracts the modern thoroughbred stars and sustains the national audience that the Triple Crown tends to draw every single year.

PTF wrote more about the state of the American Triple Crown and what the sport can do about it over on At The Races: https://www.attheraces.com/belmont-stakes-racing-festival-at-saratoga/should-the-timing-of-the-us-triple-crown-be-changedDon't forget also about the biggest handicapping contest of the Monmouth Park year this Saturday, June 13 — the $2,000 Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge.

Players Podcast - Preakness Recap with PTF/JK, Paul Halloran - Cody's Wish Book

Mon, 18 May 2026 17:56:00 -0400

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) and Jonathon Kinchen (JK) catch up following a unique running of Preakness 2026 this past Saturday (May 16) at Laurel Park instead of the usual host track Pimlico, which is currently undergoing renovations. PTF & JK offer reactions and analysis of Preakness 2026 including on the mildly surprising win by Napoleon Solo, who scored under jockey Paco Lopez at a square price of 8-1, and talk in general about the 2026 Triple Crown season which started with a bang from Golden Tempo's sensational stretch run to win Kentucky Derby 2026 for jockey Jose Ortiz and trainer Cherie DeVaux. Triple Crown focus now shifts to three weeks from now up in Saratoga for the final jewel of horse racing's signature series with Belmont Stakes 2026, which so far has attracted the likes of Golden Tempo among other Kentucky Derby starters who opted to skip this year's Preakness Stakes. What did you think of the Preakness? What are your takeaways from the race? Share your thoughts in the comments!

PTF sits down with Paul Halloran, author of the new book about Cody's Wish. Cody Dorman's story captivated the nation as the racehorse Cody's Wish rose to prominence. Cody met the foal in 2018 through Make-a-Wish, and the owners named the horse after Cody after seeing their connection. Cody traveled across the country to watch the horse run, drawing national attention.Cody saw Cody’s Wish win a Breeders’ Cup race at Keeneland in 2022 and was at Santa Anita in 2023 when the horse ended his career with a thrilling victory. The next day, on the flight home, Cody fell asleep on his mother’s shoulder and did not wake up. While his death caused immeasurable sadness, those close to him were comforted that he was there for his horse right to the end.This is a story of resilience, triumph, and love—of the inexplicable yet undeniable bond between a courageous boy and the champion racehorse he considered his best friend. And it is a story that is still unfolding, with a life-size monument at Kentucky Horse Park debuting in 2025 and the first crop of Cody's Wish foals heading to the yearling sales in 2026, to race as two-year-olds in 2027.

Players' Podcast - Is the Triple Crown Schedule Actually a Problem? | w/ Randy Moss

Fri, 08 May 2026 12:25:00 -0400

After news that Cherie DeVaux, the first woman to ever train a winner of the Kentucky Derby, decided to skip Preakness 2026 with Kentucky Derby 2026 champion Golden Tempo, conversations in horse racing have again circulated about whether the current state of the Triple Crown is broken or not.

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits with NBC's Randy Moss to talk about the scheduling of the Triple Crown races. Many trainers have expressed disinterest and concern in bringing horses out of the Kentucky Derby back to the track in two weeks to compete in the Preakness Stakes, held traditionally at Pimlico Racecourse but to be contested this year at Laurel Park while Pimlico undergoes renovations. And yet, many trainers including Kentucky Derby 2025 champ Bill Mott have opted to go from the Kentucky Derby to the third jewel of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, which Sovereignty did win with ease over Journalism - a horse who competed in all three legs of the Triple Crown in 2025 including a win in Preakness 2025. Some horses have taken the test unburdened even in defeat, but trainers remain hesitant in the modern age to risk their runners in the Preakness.

So what has to change? Does the Triple Crown necessarily have to change? The Triple Crown in horse racing has always been an elusive and difficult prize but is that reason enough to maintain the current schedule which does not even excite trainers to send their prospects down the Triple Crown trail? The Triple Crown traditionally has been a five-week turnaround between the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, but would adding more time between those races encourage trainers to participate and help reignite energy for the spectacle, or is it all just bells and whistles? PTF and Randy Moss discuss the issues with the current state of the Triple Crown in horse racing and discuss what options exist around its current dysfunction.

Players' Podcast - Who was Best in Kentucky Derby 2026? | Analysis w/ Total Performance Data

Wed, 06 May 2026 11:35:00 -0400

As we approach the next jewel of horse racing's Triple Crown and a loaded summer of stakes racing, In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) looks to grab all of the data he can from this year's Kentucky Derby to get a better understanding of who might be the strongest coming out of the race and who may have had an easier time in the Run for the Roses.

PTF sits with Adam Mills from Total Performance Data to break down the metrics from this year's running of the Kentucky Derby! They analyze horses' speed through the race, stride length and more to figure out which horses put in strong performances on the First Saturday in May.

This information will go a long way since Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo, trained by the first woman to win the Derby Cherie DeVaux, is currently considering a start in the Preakness Stakes. Many of the other horses from the Kentucky Derby will reemerge later in the summer with Saratoga right around the corner, so the data broken down in this video also gives a sense of who could be a major contender for Belmont Stakes 2026, the third leg of the Triple Crown, or even other major races on the year like the Jim Dandy and the mid-summer Derby, the Travers Stakes at Saratoga.

2026 Kentucky Derby BEST BETS w/ NBC's Jerry Bailey & Randy Moss

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:10:00 -0400

Kentucky Derby 2026 is RAPIDLY approaching, so now it's time for us at In The Money Media to check in the dynamic duo from NBC's coverage of the Kentucky Derby!

Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits down with Jerry Bailey and Randy Moss to discuss the best bets ahead of this year's Kentucky Derby!

At the time of recording, a bulk of money remains focused on a select five horses: Renegade (winner of the 2026 Arkansas Derby), Commandment (winner of the 2026 Florida Derby), So Happy (winner of the 2026 Santa Anita Derby), The Puma (runner-up in the Florida Derby & winner of the 2026 Tampa Bay Derby) and Further Ado (winner of the 2026 Blue Grass Stakes). A pair of horses have also ALREADY SCRATCHED from the Kentucky Derby: Arkansas Derby runner-up Silent Tactic and 2026 Jeff Ruby Steaks winner Fulleffort, meaning two also eligibles are in the field at the time of recording: Great White, winner of the 2026 John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway Park, and Ocelli, the third-place finisher in the 2026 Wood Memorial. Some other horses are currently also taking solid early play including one of the representatives from Japan, Danon Bourbon - winner of the 2026 Fukuryu Stakes at Nakayama Racecourse. Chad Brown's representative in Emerging Market, a horse invoking the infamous "Apollo Curse" being unraced as a 2-year-old and making just his third start of his career into the Kentucky Derby, is also drawing a lot of action in the windows. Along with the winner of the 2026 Louisiana Derby, defending Kentucky Derby champion Bill Mott sends a horse also receiving play in Chief Wallabee, who finished third in the Florida Derby behind Commandment and The Puma and will add blinkers heading into the 152nd Run for the Roses.

2026 KENTUCKY DERBY Monster Podcast BONUS | Also Eligible Great White

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 19:45:00 -0400

Get ready for this quick bonus segment of the 2026 Kentucky Derby Monster Podcast from In The Money Media with Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) joined by Eric DeCoster to talk about one of the also eligibles that drew into the race, Great White.

After the sensational story of Rich Strike drawing into the Kentucky Derby from the also eligible list and scoring the largest upset of the race's history in the 2022 Kentucky Derby, PTF wanted to ensure that every horse on the also eligible list coming into Kentucky Derby 2026 had some analysis at the ready.

Great White is a gelding by Volatile and is currently the second richest foal from Volatile behind the sprinter Faust. He's out of the Uncle Mo mare Kelly Bag, who raced a few times before hitting the breeding shed as a maiden. Distance will be a question mark for Great White, who will have many lengths to find after his fifth-place finish behind Further Ado in the 2026 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, which earned him just enough points to land into this lucky spot in the Kentucky Derby starting gate since he only accrued a handful of points with his win in the John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway Park. He's trained by John Ennis and slated to ride is Alex Achard.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:00:00 -0400

Tom in for Nick and joined by senior writer at the Racing Post Lee Mottershead. We initially discuss two key bits of news that broke yesterday. First, trainer Evan Williams being sentenced to three years in prison having been found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm. Second, the news that Laafi has indeed been disqualified from the race in which he finished first past the post at Aintree and we ask whether or not it would be preferable to DQ horses on the day. Trainer Oliver Greenall gives his view and also talks of a new syndicate venture he and Josh Guerriero are rolling out. We hear from Charlie Poste who has more horses going through the ring today at Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale and he also touches on rider Sam Lee whose funeral it is today. With that in mind and in response to the Sky News feature on jockey mental health, Nick is joined by chief executive of the IJF Lisa Hancock who speaks of all the work they do on this front. Newbury's George Hill gives an update on the latest conditions at the track which throw Constitution Hill's participation in the John Porter into doubt. Karl Burke is likely to have the favourite for that race and he touches on his touches as well as Hankelow in tomorrow's Craven Stakes and we have the latest from Hong Kong with Jim McGrath.
