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.

Well, My handicapping was good on Wednesday but my decision making wasn’t the best. I had 1 Top Pick Winner from 9 races but with horses listed “the one to beat” and placed in my 2nd spot, there were 5 winners there. If I wasn’t trying to beat them we would have had many more Top Pick Winners but if you thought they were not going to get beat, you could have cashed all day. For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream race 3-11 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Some interesting races for sure today and I’m looking forward…

OK, Kicking off another week of wagering as I’ve completely handicapped races 3-11 on Wednesday’s card from Gulfstream with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. We have a couple good turf races today which are always my favorite. We finished up last week with a very solid week of tickets cashed. I had 2 Top Pick Winners Sunday but we did cash two Pick3’s in that sequence including $517.60 when my 2nd selection Lightstream blew her field away in a 7 furlong maiden race. We also cash the Pick3 a race earlier for $232.80, both of those are in the…

OK, We were able to make some money early on the card Saturday with 2 Top Pick Winner, 2 Pick3’s and a very nice Cold $187 exacta but the last half of the card didn’t go as planned. The turf was exceptionally hard but unfortunately my selections are final hours before seeing the conditions. Once Julian took a stone cold closer to the lead on the turf and drew off, I got concerned as I knew two of my better bets would be trying to come from behind and they struggled to do so. But we start fresh today and…

OK, Another nice day for Pick4win Players as I tabbed 4 Top Pick Winners once again from 11 races, granted none of them were long prices that we all like best, but there was money to be made if wagered correctly. Since Wednesday I am 12 for 31 with Top Pick Winners and feel very comfortable and confident rolling in a very nice Saturday of wagering. I’ve skipped the first few cheap races at Gulfstream as is the norm when they run 200 races a day. I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream races 4-13 plus Aqueduct races 7-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and…
