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, Not a bad start to Belmont yesterday as I tabbed 4 Top Pick Winners from 9 races including the $14.60 Praetero in the 5th.

OK, Making my return to NY today for a seven month stay as Belmont Park opens today with a deep card filled with turf races both long and short. There will be a few short priced winning favorites but there also looks to be more than a few races where upsets could produce nice returns. The Late Pick4 is especially nice as it contains three deep turf races and I have a distinct opinion in each plus the smaller of two Best Bets comes in the dirt sprint stakes. Looking to start Belmont with a bang putting a sputtering Keeneland…

Lets wrap up this meet with some nice…
