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, Fantastic day of racing awaits with Best Bets and nice opportunities up and down the East Coast today. For Saturday I’ve completely handicapped Belmont 1-10, Keeneland 5-11 and Pimlico 4-11 w/ Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. That’s a lot of action, pick your spots and lets cash. Best Bet of the Day is a rare 4 Star Pimlico turf runner who fits my oldest winning angle, been cashing on it for years. Excited to play this one hoping the 10/1 Morning Line holds. Great day for the Preakness Stakes as they are running every stake that matters in…
