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…

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, I shook off the weekend and start fresh as are racing week begin’s today at Gulfstream Park where I’ve completely handicapped all 11 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Thank goodness there are a few turf races to make some bets in and around as there are some horribly cheap races today. One turf horse in particular I’ll be keying off of late in the PK4 hoping for once the morning line might be correct at Gulfstream. There are a few other turf affairs worth mixing it up in as well. We will also see the debut…

OK, It simply wasn’t my day Saturday but I kept swinging away trying to prove otherwise. After three really good Saturday’s in a row, yesterday’s races didn’t prove the bonanza I was looking for. But as Sam reminds me, Sunday is usually when I sneak upon them and score once my emotion gets taken out and we simply bet. We did see my Derby Dozen #2 McCraken make his seasonal debut in the Sam Davis and proved an easy winner. I tried to beat him and finished 3rd. For Sunday I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream races 1-12 with Pick5, Pick4 and…

Alright, I finished up Friday with 3 Top Pick Winners from 11 Gulfstream races but we scored with the Best Bet and Free Pick in race 5 Lady Devil, who won off as I wrote, “for fun”, as we cashed exacta and trifecta wagers as well. Jumping into Saturday’s action with both feet as I have five turf races today that I am excited to wager. All are clearly marked with asterisks around the star ratings. The first part of the Gulfstream race card starts out slow then will wind us into a frenzy by 4PM as we’ll have duel…
