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, It’s the 1st Saturday in May and we’re making the best of it. It is Arkansas Derby Day at Oaklawn Park as they finish their season with an amazing 14 races card full of competitive deep races. I have handicapped all 14 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I’ve also handicapped races 7-12 from Gulfstream park with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested as they back-loaded the turfraces so we are not missing any action. My Best Bet on turf is in race 9 so I’ll be making tickets coming and going and a nice win wager as…

Ok, Wow, its May. But its also 2020 so nothing is or will be normal for a while as this is normally KY Derby weekend. But for now I’ve completely handicapped all 11 races from Gulfstream Park with Pick5, Pick4, Pick3 and Off Turf wagers suggested. We were off the turf yesterday but should get some turf races to play with today. My Best Bet is on turf in 2nd half of the card so we will see how that plays out. I’ve also handicapped races 6-10 from Oaklawn Park with PK5, PK4 and PK3 wagers suggested. Lots of stakes…

OK, Made the most of Saturday with 3 Top Pick Winners from Gulfstream Park and ran out the Late Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3. I also had 2 Top Pick Winners from 5 Oaklawn races but the PK5 eluded us. For Sunday I’ve completely handicapped all 11 races from Gulfstream Park with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Off turf picks also provided. May take a look at the Oaklawn Late PK5 to see if I can find any value. I do have some stronger selections today at Gulfstream. Looking to survive the Early PK5 with a strong turf play, which…
