In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) and Jonathon Kinchen (JK) sit down to recap a big weekend of horse racing action topped by a sensational running of the Travers Stakes 2026, where Brad Cox runner Leading Change stayed unbeaten and downed the cream of the 3-year-old crop to win the Grade 1 in just his third start.

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.
