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 Friday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Three straight Top Pick Winners on Thursday gave us the Late PK4 and I’, looking to build on that today. Some nice races all day but the Late PK5 looks best. A few turf races I’ll be swinging at including today’s Best Bet in the last. A nice betting weekend all around as I’ll have the Cross Country PK5 on Saturday and will take a look at the turf races for a PK4 at Tampa Bay and see if there is any value to…

OK, Amazed, only 4 weeks left at Gulfstream Park as this season has confounded many people with some of the daily results. We’ve cashed tickets and picks winners but it seems at least once a day a huge longshot with ugly PP’s blows things up. Refocusing on today, I like a few races, let’s play. For Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Some nice races today, I’ve got Best Bets on both sides that anchor them as singles. One is a turfer who’s born to route and I’m excited to bet. Also…
