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.

Friday’s ‘Race of the Day’ comes in the 6th race at Penn National, their signature race, G3 The Penn Mile on turf with a 7:45 Pm Eastern Post Time. I like the #7 Set here & he’s 6/1 on the Morning Line. His last race is a complete throw out. Horses don’t get a hold of that Churchill Downs turf course when its wet plus he had a disastrous start. Set has positional speed that will allow him to sit behind someone if they want the lead or take it himself if nobody else goes. His premier speed jockey returns…
