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, Transition starts now as it’s Re-Opening Day at Santa Anita Park where I’ve completely handicapped all 9 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Full fields await as racing starts again across the USA. Torrential rain all weekend at Gulfstream Park will limit the selections down there but once scratches & changes go up for today’s races, I’ll take a look at the Late PK5. If it looks worthy and presents some value, I’ll post it. I am done with Gulfstream Park as my primary focus. Saturday the fun really begins as Churchill Downs re-opens to jam packed…

Alright, My last Saturday from Gulfstream Park as I’ll be moving my tack to Churchill Downs until racing resumes in NY hopefully later in the month. Santa Anita may even open next week which would be fun with full fields and a fresh turf course. But let’s get to today… For Saturday I’ve completely handicapped all 12 races from Gulfstream Park with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Should be an enormous Rainbow PK6 probably exceeding $8 million which will be force out today as well. Some really interesting races today as I like the 4th then a real strong…
