Of three noted horseplayers in tonight’s special lesson plan. “The Psychology of a Horseplayer” will be discussed for the first time as guests Maury Wolff, Jimmy “The Hat” Allard and Michael Beychok take part in the interactive media experience. Week 10 of the 40-week Night School season will be a special simulcast on SiriusXM’s “At the Races With Steve Byk” program, and streamed live into the Night School chat box free for all listeners. Fans will be able to direct questions to the panelists as well as the audio stream’s co-hosts Jeremy Plonk of Horse Player NOW and Byk.

Wolff, of Alexandria, Va., is one of the most respected horseplayers and racing economists of modern times. He has been a member of the NTRA Players’ Panel and was runner-up in the inaugural DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship.

Allard is a Southern California-based professional horseplayer for more than a quarter-century and was an advisor to the HBO series “Luck.” His seven-figure scores in multi-race wagers are documented west coast lore.

Beychok won the 2012 DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship, taking the Baton Rouge, La., based horseplayer to new heights. The political strategist by day has since opened his own website beychokracing.com.

Night School co-founder Joe Kristufek will moderate the chat portion of the lesson and interact with fans as they listen into the show and contribute questions. The show will be engineered by Casey Ghee of “At the Races with Steve Byk.”
