    Join In The Money Media for this in-depth handicapping analysis looking over the major races on the greatest day in harness racing taking place this Saturday (Aug. 8) at The Meadowlands with the $1,000,000 Hambletonian! Ray Cotolo hosts this Roundtable discussion with regular co-host Mikee P and is joined by a pair of expert handicappers in Garnet Barnsdale, former analyst for the Daily Racing Form and current author of the Horseplayer's Journal at Woodbine Mohawk Park, as well as Diamond Creek Farm's Shaun Laungani, who started in horse racing as a gambler before finding a career on the breeding side of the business. The four will analyze the major stakes on Hambletonian Day which also includes the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks and many other big-money stakes gathering the best of the best in the harness racing world on a day that also coincides major stakes on the flat side with Whitney Stakes 2026 taking place at Saratoga Race Course. The Meadowlands offers a robust betting menu for the $1,000,000 Hambletonian card. With 16 races on tap, bettors can tap into $350,000 in guaranteed pools on the day highlighted by the $125,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 starting in Race 8, which includes the $500,000 Hambletonian Oaks and $1,000,000 Hambletonian finals. The Meadowlands will also offer a $3 Late Pick 3 on the last three races as well as a $5 Late Daily Double on the last two - a pair of bets that have grown in popularity on the flat side over recent years. This year's Hambletonian has gathered an intense three-pronged matchup inside of the 10-horse field with Ohio sensation Big Ranger earning morning-line favoritism at 2-1 following a 1:50 romp in his elimination for driver Tim Tetrick and trainer Anette Lorentzon. The colt, who spurred controversy when the ownership opted to switch trainers ahead of the Hambletonian, will face his toughest test to date as he confronts the 1-2 finishers from the other elimination Apex and Endurance, who together tussled through a long ways off of the pylons to finish noses apart in a 1:50.4 mile. Apex, by generational sire Walner and out of world champion mare Mission Brief, is listed as the second choice on the morning line at 5/2 while Endurance, the gutsy Chris Beaver-trained son of Hambletonian 2021 winner Captain Corey, is listed as the third choice on the morning line at 5-1.

    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.

Ahead of a couple of Group Ones in Europe this weekend, we hear from Michael O'Callaghan who runs Celeron in the Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh and Johnny Murtagh, who has Take Charge Star in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville on Sunday.
