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, Day 2 at Saratoga as we roll into the 1st Saturday of the meet. I’ve completely handicapped all 11 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I added some dirt selections late in case of afternoon storms. A slow start to the meet as I had 1 Top Pick Winner yesterday but we did cash the Early PK4 so there were some rewards available. The races are deep today but nothing else is expected. I like a few things today, will be looking to cash early and invest in the late races. Should be a fun afternoon. Visit…

Alright, The best racing meet in North America opens today in my back yard – welcome to Saratoga Race Course. I’ve been handicapping for 30+ years and my whole style was acquired deciphering the complex puzzles horse players encounter at Saratoga. The races are deep with talent as the best of the best ship in looking to grab a win photo at Saratoga. It is very hard, make no mistake. Slow and steady wins the race to the pot of gold. If you jump in with both feet and are wrong, it could set you back for weeks before recovering.…
