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, Starting to heat up as I’ve tabbed 3 Top Pick Winners each of the last two racing days (6-18) with some nice ones too! Yesterday I nailed Catoria in the 5th who paid $49.80 $13.60 $7.10, then came right back in the 6th with Jaded Lady $11.00 $6.30 $3.10 with the $192.50 Double for every dollar spent. I finished the day with Discreet Mission in the 10th $9.10 $5.50 $4.10. Getting a solid feel for the track and weather, nonetheless the ultra competitive racing and it finally feels good. I can go on a serious run at Saratoga when…

Well, We had 2 Top Pick Winners on Friday but so far, Saratoga is living up to its unmerciful reputation for being extremely hard on handicappers. It reminds me of my favorite Iron Mike Tyson quote “Everyone has a plan till they get punched in the mouth”. For Saturday I’ve completely handicapped all 11 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4, Pick3 and Off Turf Picks provided. Races 1 and 2 are already off the turf and dirt selections are listed. Will be a fun day to play regardless as I like a few others don’t and it just might be…
