TOP PICKS & SUGGESTED WAGERS I handicap the races and list Four Horses per race (plus another in case scratches) in order of preference starting with the Top Pick so multi-race and inter-race wagers can be formed. Currently, I am focused on BELMONT PARK & CHURCHILL DOWNS  providing my Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagering strategies. My selections for turf races are 2nd to none. I find value and Double Digit Top Pick Turf Winner as my specialty.. Spot Plays may also be included in the daily selections, weekends more probable. Tracks for potential Spot Plays include WOODBINE, SANTA ANITA PARK, LAUREL PARK, GULFSTREAM PARK, and DELAWARE PARK. I'll focus around turf races looking to cash nice tickets.

OK, For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Gulfstream Park with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Not a bad card for Thursday as we always need to survive those cheap dirt races while looking to excel on the turf. Sick of seeing some trainers win at Gulfstream already, just doesn’t seem like they can get those results from those horses. Horses are back running away from fields like they can go around again, off the claim at enormous percentages, or getting well bet of ugly PP’s and winning for fun. If 2021 continues as normal, only two…

OK, I am genuinely excited for todays races. Since I finished handicapping yesterday, I’ve been jacked up and really couldn’t sleep, that’s how excited I am to start betting today. The races have completely set up for my eye, I have a full balance after yesterday and will be firing with both barrels all day, I simply can’t wait. For Saturday I’ve completely handicapped all 12 races from Gulfstream Park with Pick5, Pikc4 and Pick3 wagers suggested on Pegasus World Cup Day aka The Donn Handicap. It is a fantastic card. I had a turf runner jump out at me…

OK, For Friday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Gulfstream Park with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I like taking small shots at these multi-track wagers so I did the Stronach5 PK5 today as well instead of the Golden Hour PK4 as we have almost a $100,000 carryover into the PK5 and I crafted a $24 ticket. Card starts off slow, cheap races early with one turf race I like but the Late PK5 is outstanding as I like both the turf and dirt races so I’m looking to score as we start (Donn Handicap) weekend and tomorrows…
