Monmouth Saturday Analysis — PTF & JK

PTF and JK — the defending Pick Your Prize champion — break down the full Monmouth Saturday card including the Late Pick 5 (R6-R10). Program Trading as a single in R6, Happy Offering in R7, Enjoying in R8, Bishop’s Bay in R9. Last race is the spread. JK notes he’ll be playing ADW from Aqueduct on Saturday — so one less player to beat if you’re showing up in person.

Is Golden Tempo a Breeders’ Cup Classic Threat?

PTF welcomes back Adam Mills of Total Performance Data for a GPS and stride-data deep-dive into the Belmont Stakes. The headline finding: Golden Tempo had the longest stride in the field, came from last, and crossed the line still doing 34 mph — meaning he may not have produced his maximum effort. Adam’s conclusion: “He’s winning races the data says he shouldn’t.” And his BC Classic verdict: he doubles down on the case he made after the Derby.

Profile of a Horseplayer — Marshall Gramm

In the Money Media  |  June 11, 2026

You may have seen Dr. Marshall Gramm’s imputed win odds table from the Belmont Stakes cross-pools making the rounds on X — Cherie DeVaux herself reposted it. This is his full profile on ITM: Rhodes College economist, serious horseplayer, and one of the sharpest analytical minds covering American racing. Worth reading before Royal Ascot, where the same cross-pool methodology applies.

Royal Ascot runs Tuesday June 16 through Saturday June 20. PTF is on the ground in England covering for the World Feed and Sky Sports. Rob Dove provides picks every day exclusively on ITM Plus. Here’s your full preview package.
