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 11 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested after 3 Top pick Winners from 10 Friday races. A real nice day of racing sets up with good racing, a few nice horse to bet and spectacular end of summer weather. Some key turf horses as usual that I’ll be looking to build tickets around and a first time starter who has push button acceleration that should be on display through the stretch. I’m looking forward to playing for sure as Closing Week is upon us. I’ll also have the Late…

OK, Slight rainfall over night after the races shouldn’t do much other than help the surfaces as I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4, Pick3 and Off Turf picks just in case. A nice day of races sets up today after only 2 Top Pick Winners Wednesday where it seemed my 2nd choices won 4 or 5 races. The sequences are deep today but certainly there are placed to make a stand and I’ve identified mine. Trying to beat some favorites that seem vulnerable or singling ones and using them as an anchor. Been waiting for…

OK, The storm has passed, Travers Day is through as we ease out of the meet with 7 gambling days left. I did manage 4 Top Pick Winners through the first 6 races yesterday but when Hog Creek Hustle unleashed a furious run only to get beat a nose, the tide changed. No idea why Higher Honors was so close to the pace yesterday in the Travers as I was expecting him to make one run late. As i said, moving on and let’s cash out. For Sunday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers…
