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.

Alrighty, Bonus day selections today for Pick4win Players as I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream races 1-12 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers on this holiday Monday. Finished up yesterday with 3 Top Pick Winners but couldn’t connect late. I had two horses, one 17/1 (Nerve Line) and the other was 8/1 (Analyze) who both ran the races I was looking for but a ridiculous long shot got home first while both my great odds horses had to settle for 2nd. Those there would have made it a much more special day. Today’s card does have appeal. I have 3 key turf…

OK, Finished up Saturday with 3 Top Pick Winners from 12 Gulfstream races as Patch, Moment of Delight and Co-Best Bet Delta Prince all won late but a seemingly over confident ride from Javier Castellano on Tombelaine in the 10th cost us all our running tickets. The Pick5 wouldn’t have paid piles but I pressed enough times that it would have made for a nice afternoon. But I got out for the day in the last when Delta Prince got home first and my cold $74 exacta over the 22/1 Alasaal plus nice win and double wagers. For Sunday I’ve…

Alright, Yesterday just wasn’t my day but I kept swinging anyway. We’ll put that behind us and move forward into a pretty decent card at Gulfstream Park where I’ve completely handicapped all 12 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wager suggested. Lots of turf action today that will keep my interest high especially the 2nd half of the day as I have two 4 Star Best Bets within the Late PK5 who I think will be easy winners and have designed tickets to make the most of those selections. Feeling good about the day and can’t wait to get started.…

OK, I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream races 1-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Some interesting races throughout the card today and I’ll be involved from the start as my Best Bet falls early and there is a nice PK3 sequence I’m gonna leverage. Then the Late PK5 looks very interesting as well as four of the five races should produce upsets. One race, I even said out loud, “i’ve bet crazier horses” and as I kept looking, it really isn’t that crazy and the price should be huge. As an aside, my namesake Z J Wins, a Zayat Stable…
