OK, Another tough day at the Spa on Thursday as some long shots blew up the tickets. I was able to catch the Late Double a multiple times so I got out for the day. For Friday I’ve completely handicapped Saratoga races 1-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Another nice card as the momentum has to turn my way soon as I getting some live runners identified that don’t get lucky enough to win. But I’m looking forward to today’s races especially the Late Pick4. Visit Pick4win.com to purchase today’s selections. For Friday’s Free Pick ~ Saratoga race…

OK, So close to having a good day yesterday as my Best Bet went up in flames once Florent Geroux checked him hard instead on holding his rail position effectively eliminating Doctor J Dub from the race only two furlongs into the race. The race before the smaller of my two Best Bets won for absolute fun, Tale For Ruby took ALL the money going from 6/1 to 2/1 late in the face of a 4/5 shot. We cashed two early Pick4’s but they were not very rewarding. For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped Saratoga races 1-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and…

OK, First Wednesday of the Saratoga kicks off Day 5 and its a gorgeous day here is Racing City USA. Its gonna get warm later, but should be a beautiful day throughout. Didn’t get off the the fastest start through the 1st four days – but I have no worries or issues as it only takes one race here to score and we are just starting the marathon – it ceased being a sprint years ago. There are some very good betting races today and I’m excited to play. I have two Best Bets – one stronger than the other…

OK, Saratoga once again proving the toughest racing anywhere as Top Pick Winners have been hard to come by through the first three days. Again, too many seconds but at least my horses are firing, just not getting lucky enough to win. Yesterday’s Best Bet went off at 6/1, sat a perfect trip, ranged up on the leader who then inched away. Things will fall into place soon enough. My philosophy is to keep firing. Lose a bet, keep firing. It only takes one race to get you right back into the game. I’m looking forward to Monday as it…

OK, Too many seconds yesterday as for a fleeting moment it looked like we were gonna win and someone swooped in and stole the glory. The Free Pick won as expected as Dacita rallied from last to get up in the last jump which got all my money back for the day. Saratoga race 10 – #6 DACITA $10.20 $5.70 $4.20 with the $95.90 exacta Sunday’s races look outstanding. To me, this is the kinda card I love the most as I can take some good swings in turf races at very good prices. I have opportunities from early to…
