OK, What a week we are kicking off. It’s Closing Week at Saratoga with six wagering days left as we conclude on Monday. It’s also Kentucky Derby Week and we got screwed by a gate scratch yesterday at Churchill Downs but we’re moving along. For Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped races 2-10 from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4, Pick3 and Off Turf Picks provided as its been raining all morning and rain threatens this afternoon as well. On Friday & Saturday I will obviously have full card Saratoga but will also have the races from Churchill Downs from the 5th or so…

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, Off the turf on Thursday but tabbed 4 Top Pick Winners as we roll into the weekend. For today I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Nothing really dried out overnight so some of the turf races are in jeopardy for sure and the Main Track should still have moisture in it as well. But I’m fully prepared and like some horse on either surface so we’ll have some fun today kicking off the weekend. I’ll be looking to roll the Early PK5 into the 5th as I have a possible…
