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.
Alright, This is my favorite week of the year – great food, a five day weekend and fantastic turf racing all over the country which obviously give me a distinct edge. I’ve been cashing big tickets at the Hollywood Turf Festival since Vergennes in 1998, celebrated in my PJ’s when Good Reward blew them up in 2004 and Barklay Tagg comes back the next year and wins with my boy Showing Up. More recently Mo Town was a uber rare (5 Star) selection and he blew them away down the lane for Tony Dutrow, still look at that picture everyday.…
