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, Almost had a ridiculous day but was for not as I handicapped Manifest Destiny in the 7th races yesterday who went off at 30/1 and lead every step but the last. Major kick in the wahoos. I did finish strong with the last PK3 as I won the last with Top Pick Steamboat Bill who was aggressive out of the gate and rolled home down the lane. For Monday I’ve completely handicapped all 9 Saratoga races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Another nice card, love betting on Mondays. The Late PK5 & PK4 could be exceptionally rewarding…

OK, A couple nice Top Pick Winners on Saturday including Zennor $30.60 $9.20 & $6.20. For Sunday I’ve completely handicapped all 11 Saratoga races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested on what is a very good card. There are some great bettable spots today as I like more than a few price horses. It will be a very interesting day once they start popping as I’m looking to run out some nice tickets today. I have two bombs for the turf action and another live firster who just might sneak by the crowd. It’s gonna be fun. Visit Pick4win.com…

Alright, Whitney Day is here as a huge crown will be on-track today upwards of 35,000. A fantastic card awaits as a tiny bit of rain spits from the clouds but will most likely be gone before Post Time. I had 3 Top Pick Winners from 10 Saratoga races yesterday so we have plenty of bullets to fire at them today. A really fun day of races, I have a few very live runners including a firster who looks ‘set up’ to me and have cashed with this angle many times over the years. Great stakes and turf action too,…

OK, We had 2 Top Pick Winners on Wednesday but every day I take away lessons from the day before and I will be adjusting according. For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped Saratoga races 2-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I’ll make this easy. I love one today. It’s my Best Bet, obviously a turf horse, and I’m looking to score. I put four horses into my stable mail expecting them to win at Saratoga and the first one fires their shot today. I’ll be swinging with both hands trying to maximize this opportunity as I can easily see…
