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, We slide into Travers Week here in Saratoga as the meet will reach its peak on Saturday. I ended Monday with 2 Top Pick Winners from 9 races and also had my Top Pick run 2nd three times and we grabbed all three exactas. The one I wanted most was Dancetrack for Billy Mott in the 7th. She made a stout rally falling 4 inches short – but the $167.50 exacta, $929 trifecta & $2248 superfecta was more than enough to fill my pockets. I express it all the time – you just have to have the cajones to…

OK, An average looking card strung together today at The Spa but if we stay on the turf, we’ll be able to extract some value from it. I like a few turfers today and since we had no rain overnight – we should be on the turf today for everything – but we will see. I tabbed a couple nice Top Pick Winners yesterday including beating Catch a Glimpse with Time and Motion and a real nice upset when Security Risk won the 4th $19.80 $7.30 & $4.30 with the $53 exacta & $323 trifecta. For Monday I’ve completely handicapped…

OK, Fantastic day of wagering ahead as I think I’ve identified some great spots to swing away. I’ve completely handicapped all 12 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4, Pick3 and also the Saratoga/DelMar All Stakes Pick4 which will provide wagering action well into the evening here in Saratoga. The middle to late portion of Saratoga’s card is where I’m most interested and can’t wait for those races to unfold. We had some success yesterday scoring with the smaller of two Best Bets as Full Tap blew her field out and I cashed my ticket with Mike Stidham, as predicted before…

Well, I put a few winners on the board yesterday as I recorded 4 Top Pick Winners from 10 Thursday races. The next few cards looks very appetizing as I have identified more than a few spots that I think we can score. Today there are two Best Bets on the card which I’ve drawn up tickets using them as singles plus I’m looking to upset the apple cart with some nice $20 winners. The cards will be filled with value which I hope to identify for you. This weekend is very promising. Visit Pick4win.com to purchase today’s selections or…
