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 Saturday I’ve completely handicapped all 11 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Also I’ve listed two PK5’s for the Cross Country PK5 mixing Saratoga, Woodbine and Monmouth Park. A very nice day to play today as more than a few favorites look vurnerable to me, including one of the biggest favorites of the day as I will only have one 1/5 shot on top of the two running today. Some excellent sequences in PK3’s that I’ll be looking to stretch into PK4’s and PK5’s. Lots of winning anngles today for me, 1st time turfers,…

Ok, 3 more Top Pick Winners from Thursday’s flat races making me 10/28 with Top Picks over last three racing days. For Friday I’ce completely handicapped all 10 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Looks like a glorious day for racing. Some nice races leading us into the weekend and the last PK5 could pay boxcars again today with four of the five races on turf from sprints to three turn marathons – all right in my wheel house. The Best Bet anchors the Late PK5 as well and I feel they will be overlooked in…

OK, Another nice day for Pick4win.com Players as I tabbed 3 Top Pick Winners from 9 flat races at Saratoga as a few long shots busted up the tickets. For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped races 2-10 with Pick5, Pick4, Pick3 and Off Turf Picks provided as its dreary and the rain is falling at 7:30 AM. Some nice races regardless of the surface today and I’m excited to play. Lots of angles and live horses today which certainly makes it fun. If we stay on turf we have some interesting plays. But I’m prepared to play in the mud if…

OK, Tough day yesterday for most folks but that’s a Saturday in Saratoga when things don’t go your way in the most competitive race meet of the season. For Sunday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Some nice sequences today, some baby races to survive but some turf races to lean on. Trying to start the day with a bang then it would be all down hill from there. A very interesting baby in Late PK5 and my strongest play on turf as well. Settle in for a scorching Sunday afternoon.
