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, For Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped all 9 Belmont races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. After the first three races, the action gets much better for me. The 4th is a maiden turf race and the 5th a maiden special and I’ll be jumping in there with some nice wagers as the 5th is my Best Bet. The late PK4 also looks OK and has some value so it should be a fun afternoon to play. Visit Pick4win.com to purchase today’s selections. For Wednesday’s Free Pick ~ Belmont race 7 – #2 ABIDING STAR – This Uncle Mo…

OK, I really excited for today’s races as I’ve completely handicapped all 9 Belmont races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. It takes a lot for me to get jacked up for the races, I always love to play, but seeing horses who jump out at prices and give me confidence doesn’t happen every race, nor every day. Today seems to have five horses at prices I’ll be swinging away with plus a 4 Star Best Bet. I’ve made some bigger tickets and so more focused tickets trying to best take advantage of these price opportunities. I’ll be making…
