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 Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped races 2-9 from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. A slow start to the week gets better once we get to the Late PK5. The last three races of the day present the most value and I’m looking to score. Should be a profitable day by late afternoon. Visit Pick4win.com to purchase your selection package. For Wednesday’s Free Pick ~ Saratoga race 2 – #5 SETTING THE MOOD – This is the ‘other Todd Pletcher’ runner in the five horse field who has put together three improving efforts since returning off the…

OK, For Saturday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I’ll list the Cross Country PK5 later this afternoon. I’m 9/25 (36%) with Top Picks this week so far and excited to play today. Some nice sequences throughout the day provide excellent value. I am looking forward to a first time starter today who may blow up the tote with a $40+ mutual totally blowing out the Early PK5 – and I can’t wait to play.

OK, After enduing a difficult week last week, I’ve started off like a house on fire this week. I tabbed 5 Top pick Winners from 8 Flat races yesterday and am 8/16 to start the week with Top Picks plus winning selections included 3 of the 4 PK5’s offered. Lots of shorter priced horses this week but the fields are exceptionally short as well so identifying the winner and maximizing its potential is crucial. Two of the three PK5’s were very respectable for the sequences with Top Pick Wild William $11.40 providing some value. For Friday I’ve completely handicapped all…

OK, Got the week started right yesterday with 3 Top Pick Winners from 8 flat races, got nailed with the Free Pick on the wire at 7/2 but if you replaced the scratch in the 9th in the Late PK5 with the extra horse (that’s why its there) you cashed another solid PK5 for $2000. For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped races 2-9 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Like the card today, the Late PK5 looks ripe again as I don’t think I have a favorite on top. Visit Pick4win.com to purchase today’s elections. For Thursday’s Free Pick ~…

OK, Three weeks left of racing at Saratoga Race Course, only 15 racing days after today and summer is over. Tough week last week, strange races, bad trips and rides, small barns breaking out with multiple wins after being ice cold since COVID – last week had it all. For Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped races 2-9 at Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. With only 8 flat races everything blends together today with two turf races overlapping in the Early & Late PK5 – which gives me a decisive edge. My best price play of the afternoon is…
