In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by Joe Migliore to analyze horse racing action taking place at Saratoga Race Course right after a jam-packed day of racing for Whitney Stakes 2026 this Sunday (Aug. 9)!
In The Money Media's Players' Podcast returns with this special show presented by TwinSpires Tournaments focused on some of the big horse racing action taking place at Saratoga Race Course this Saturday (Aug. 8) headlined by the Whitney Stakes, which shapes to be an absolute brawl with Kentucky Derby 2025 champ Sovereignty looking for a signature win as a 4-year-old against Dubai World Cup 2026 winner Magnitude and Oaklawn Handicap champ White Abarrio just to name a few in the stacked eight-horse field, which does also include a filly in Mark Casse's Nitrogen.
This edition of the In The Money Media late-week show begins with a special look at the 2026 Hambletonian, the biggest race in harness racing! Their sport's Kentucky Derby, the stakes-laden card gets underway at 12 p.m. (EDT) on Saturday (Aug. 8) and Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) got the skinny on the marquee races with the hosts of the Harness Players' Podcast Ray Cotolo and Mikee P. The harness pair then take the reins to look at some flat action up at Woodbine Racetrack for Saturday before handing the mic back to PTF for the closing segment focused on horse racing action from Monmouth Park with guest Duke Matties.
In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale is joined by NBC Sports contributor Randy Moss to go over some of the major changes that have recently been announced inside of the Triple Crown Series in horse racing.
Earlier this week, Churchill Downs and the New York Racing Association announced that they would team to present a six-race series spanning from May to November with the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes serving as part of this new series for 3 year olds. The announcement brought to question to fate and state of the Preakness Stakes, which for long has been scrutinized for its close proximity to the Kentucky Derby on the racing calendar. Soon after Churchill Downs and NYRA announced the new series, Maryland governor Wes Moore announced that the Preakness Stakes would be moved to 22 days after the running of the Kentucky Derby in the hopes that the Derby runner would take a shot at the Triple Crown. But with this new series in the fold on the stakes schedule, the placement and status of the Preakness currently sits in jeopardy.
Randy Moss joins PTF to break down the happenings behind the scenes of the Triple Crown for the last few years. Randy, a longtime advocate for adjusting the timing of the races on the Triple Crown, goes over the feuds between tracks and organizations that have stymied any remedy to the Triple Crown, which itself has struggled as a series in recent years with the Kentucky Derby winner opting off the trail entirely over the last two years. Both winners, Kentucky Derby 2025 champ Sovereignty and Kentucky Derby 2026 champ Golden Tempo, resurfaced to race in the Belmont Stakes and win, spurring further controversy about the value of the Triple Crown since both horses had just the Preakness Stakes missing from their resumes.

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by Churchill Downs morning line maker and horseplayer Nick Tammaro to look back at this past weekend's horse racing stakes action, headlined by the defeat of Kentucky Derby 2025 champ Sovereignty in the Stephen Foster 2026 on Saturday to Dubai World Cup champion Magnitude. The weekend also wrapped somberly with the last horse races to ever run at historic Aqueduct Racetrack in New York City on Sunday.
In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits down with Total Performance Data's Adam Mills to take a look at the data from Stephen Foster 2026, run this past Saturday at home of the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs. PTF & Adam discuss the potentially flat performance by Kentucky Derby 2025 winner Sovereignty, who finished an even third behind Dubai World Cup champ Magnitude and Pennsylvania Derby winner Baeza. The two break down the running data from the race run over a sticky track to better understand whether a horse like Sovereignty regressed or ran his race - a race where White Abarrio, who easily trounced this cohort at Oaklawn Park a few weeks ago, also ran flat.
Mikee P. hosts another episode of the In the Money Media Podcast with inthemoneypodcast.com contributor Adam Discepolo. The guys break down the Late Pick 4 for Assiniboia Downs on Tuesday, June 30. The bet has a $1 minimum and a $50,000 Guarantee.

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.
Royal Ascot 2026, reviewed through advanced sectional 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.
Mikee P. and Jackson Muniz go after the Late Pick 4 on Tuesday, June 23rd. The bet carries a $1 minimum and has a $50,000 Guarantee. ASD also had $3 rolling Pick 3s on the card.

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.

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by horseplayer and handicapper Nick Tammaro to take a glance at the upcoming Belmont Stakes 2026, which will take place on June 6 at Saratoga. The Triple Crown season in horse racing is nearing a wrap with the concluding event, the Belmont Stakes, attracting many runners from Kentucky Derby 2026 including last-to-first winner Golden Tempo, who also recently finalized a stud deal with Lane's End once his time on the racetrack has finished. Several other Kentucky Derby runners hopped over Preakness 2026 to target the Belmont Stakes including Mike Repole's runner Renegade, who finished second to Golden Tempo in Kentucky Derby 2026. A pair of Preakness 2026 runners in Ocelli and Chip Honcho are also probable to compete in this year's Belmont Stakes as well as Kentucky Derby runners Potente, Chief Wallabee, Commandment and Emerging Market. Chief Wallabee will give hall of fame trainer Bill Mott a chance to score back-to-back victories in the Belmont Stakes after he famously skipped Preakness 2025 with Kentucky Derby 2025 winner Sovereignty before winning Belmont Stakes 2025 in a romp over eventual Dubai World Cup champion Magnitude. Saratoga Race Course, traditionally the go-to horse racing meet of the summer on the East Coast, hosts the Belmont Stakes for the last time as renovations near completion on Belmont Racetrack, which also readies to host the Breeders' Cup come 2027 with its modernized grandstand and upgraded racetrack.

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.

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.
In The Money Media's late-week Players' Podcast is back with another episode filled with great insight on the weekend's horse racing action! On the tail of a historic Kentucky Derby and now in the throes of a Triple Crown season raising debates once again, Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) takes a detour to look at some of the other wonderful racing happening this Saturday (May 9) including the opening day of action at the heart of the Jersey Shore, Monmouth Park! Brian Skirka from Monmouth joins the show first to talk with PTF about the day and the season at Monmouth Park, and later in the show PTF sits with Jonathon Kinchen (JK) to take a deeper dive into the opening day card at Monmouth. The late-week show wraps with the Woodbine segment where PTF sits with Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge champion Drew Coatney to go over bets and wagering strategies for the races on Saturday at Woodbine.
Join host Mikee P on the latest episode of In The Money Media as he welcomes Darin Zoccali from TwinSpires.comfor an in-depth recap of the exciting Kentucky Derby weekend contests. The duo breaks down the biggest moments from the TwinSpires tournament action, discusses standout performances from Derby weekend, and shares valuable insights for horseplayers looking to improve their contest strategy.
Looking ahead, Mikee P and Darin preview upcoming handicapping contests available on TwinSpires.com, highlighting opportunities for players to compete, qualify, and cash in during the spring racing season. They also dive into expert handicapping analysis for the Saturday Late Pick 4 at Churchill Downs, offering picks, betting strategies, and race-by-race insights to help bettors attack one of the weekend’s most popular wagers.
Whether you're a seasoned contest player, a casual horse racing fan, or searching for winning Pick 4 advice, this episode delivers essential Kentucky Derby analysis, TwinSpires contest updates, and expert handicapping content from two respected voices in horse racing media.
In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits with mathematics professor and horseplayer Marshall Gramm to discuss whether a possible big change is needed for betting on horse racing in 2026.
Following a controversial moment on Kentucky Derby 2026 day where 30-1 morning line shot T O Elvis dropped in price after the gates sprung to win the Churchill Downs Stakes at odds of 5-1, PTF has a conversation with Marshall Gramm about if fixed odds could be a solution to the price fluctuations seen when betting on horse racing as a result of late money not settling the odds until after the race starts. Bettors for a long time have expressed a disdain for price shifts in races, which has become another layer of difficulty in forecasting bets and trying to find value inside of races.
Fixed odds as an offering seemingly would solve the price-shift frustrations, but how would it work? Could it work inside of American horse racing?
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.
PTF and Mikee P. recap the Kentucky Derby and the last-to-first win by Golden Tempo. They also look ahead to the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown, the Preakness Stakes. Other races are mentioned, including the Kentucky Oaks on Friday won by Always a Runner.
Here's an ADDITIONAL bonus segment from the Kentucky Derby 2026 Monster Podcasts from In The Money Media focused on the other two also eligibles in the race that DREW IN: Ocelli & Robusta!
Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits with Eric DeCoster to go over how these two surprise entrants fit into the scope of this year's Run for the Roses.
The 2026 Kentucky Derby is scheduled for Saturday, May 2 at Churchill Downs, with the post-position draw set for April 25 and post time scheduled for 6:57 p.m. Follow the full Monster Podcast series for continued coverage of Kentucky Derby 2026 contenders as the field for the Run for the Roses comes together.

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.
The 2026 Kentucky Derby is scheduled for Saturday, May 2 at Churchill Downs, with the post-position draw set for April 25 and post time scheduled for 6:57 p.m. Follow the full Monster Podcast series for continued coverage of Kentucky Derby 2026 contenders as the field for the Run for the Roses comes together.
Taken from the Live event on Wednesday night in Lexington. PTF/JK/Maggie Wolfendale/Philip Shelton take you through the Late Pick 5s on Oaks and Derby Day sponsored by Medallion Racing.
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.
Get ready for the 2026 Kentucky Derby with expert insights from In The Money Media!
