YSM Stables Spaces

What better way to start off your week than a Twitter Spaces hosted by one of the game’s top stables?

YSM and friends chatted much about the PFL state of play but also received a surprise guest appearance by Third Time CEO and Founder Ian Cummings about 90 minutes into the show.

From there, the show focused on Cummings musing on what took place at Churchill Downs, and what it means for the game moving forward.

If you missed the YSM Stables Twitter Spaces from last week it’s most definitely one to get caught up on.

If you missed the stream give it a watch!
