Players' Podcast - Is the Triple Crown Schedule Actually a Problem? | w/ Randy Moss
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 - Is It Time for Fixed Odds in Horse Racing? | w/ Marshall Gramm
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?

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

2026 KENTUCKY DERBY Monster Podcast BONUS | Also Eligible Great White
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.
