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, All is right in the world today as the racing action returns with a glorious day of action. For Monday I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream races 1-11 and Santa Anita races 6-9 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. The early portion of the Gulfstream card is horrid as usual, tread lightly if you’re playing as action bets only seem needed through the first five races or so. The 2nd half of the Gulfstream card gets very interesting with maiden turf action, my Best Bet and single in the Late Pick5 & Pick4 – so the action gets substantially better.…

Alright, Starting Christmas week with decent card at Gulfstream Park – it has a few horrible races sure, but it presents opportunity that I haven’t seen in years. Being a handicapper for 25+ years, I have developed a few angles that have reaped double digit winners at a pretty good clip time after time. I have two that are automatic plays the return rate is so rewarding. We have one of those opportunities today, for the 1st time in two years, my favorite angle pops up. If we stay on the turf, I will be taking a Mike Tyson 1st…

OK, We finished up Saturday with 3 Top Pick Winners from 11 races but was unsatisfied with the results as we just couldn’t get the running exotic tickets going. We all start fresh today, so lets dig in to the action. For Sunday I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream races 1-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Its the kind of day where I am not in love with anything per se, but those days can turn out to be the most profitable as you bet without emotion. I’ll be looking to take advantage of some turf action today and get…
