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, An enormous weekend starts now as I’ve completely handicapped all 7 races from Royal Ascot to start the day. The best turf racing in the world continues through Saturday and I certainly have my opinions. Went against Stradivarius yesterday but should have just taken the favorite as he was way to much for them. I had Mountain Angel on top but after making final adjustments, eliminated him and was stopping my feet as he swept past for victory. I also had upgraded Highland Spirit in the 1st but not far enough as he lit up the tote with a…

For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped all 7 races from Royal Ascot as well as the 10 race card from Belmont park with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. The Late PK5 at Belmont looks ripe as I…
