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 8 races from Belmont at the Big A with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3s suggested. My major focus today is The Best Bet. A turf horse I’ve been waiting for that should pay $20+. I’ve got them singled in the PK5 and can’t wait to play. For Friday’s Free Pick ~ BAQ race 8 ~ #4 PELICAN PRIDE – The Kentucky Derby winning trainer ships this NYB in from her base for breeder/owner Sol Kumin, who also owns the sire Slumber. Slumber was an outstanding turf horse who loved a distance of ground, so…
