Sara and AJ from the Triple Clowns join The Player's Edge - minus Terry "Hollywood" Hay and 22 to 1 Tom. Together, we talk about UFOs. The line is set to 1:1 that the US Government says they exist when the report is released on June 1st.
They wonder what horse racing at Monmouth Park is going to look like with riders not allowed to use a whip in non-emergency situations. And then onto another confusing issue, Lasix, some races it's allowed and some it's not, at the same track. It makes no sense. AJ has a great solution, in our opinion.
Of course, they get down to picks and make their late Pick 4 selections at Churchill Downs.

Hopefully, Shawn, Terry, Thomas and Rich's resolutions to start the year with winners makes it through races 7, 8, and 9 at Aqueduct on Saturday afternoon.
Shawn's back from spending time with the family (maybe a little too much). The entire team makes their horseplayer resolutions, all are good but Rich takes it to a whole new level. Hint, no way he can keep it for long, if at all.
As always, it's a fun conversation with some interesting thoughts on why each of the guys likes their choices.
Shawn did the nice thing and took the night off for the holidays. Terry, Thomas and Rich were naughty and made their picks for the last three races on Santa Anita's card to start the winter meet.
