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 Sunday I’ve completely handicapped Keeneland 1-9 and Aqueduct 4-8 with PK5, PK4m PK3 and Turf Trifectas at KEE. Fantastic day was had by all Saturday. I focused on the 2nd half of the day and we cashed everything. The Late PK5 at Aqueduct paid $1222 included 3 Top Pick Winners and one Best Bet on turf, Pass the Hat who crushed them as expected. I had two Best Bet turf winners at Keeneland as Works for Me cashed early then the Best Bet of the Day Burnham Road was the talk of the town as he exploded, crushing…

OK, For Saturday I’ve completely handicapped Keeneland 1-11 and Aqueduct 5-9 with PK5 PK4 PK3 and KE All Turf PK3s. Hoping the rain holds at Keeneland as I have three horses I love on turf today, two of them at Keeneland. So if it rains, we still have a good swing at one in NY. But I’ll be lying in wait until the afternoon so I can fire away with both barrels at these turf horses. I get extra bumps layering PK3s. We get to bookend singles with the turf horses at Keeneland, don’t let me win two turf races…

OK, For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped Keeneland 1-9 and Aqueduct 4-8 with PK5, PK4, PK3 and KEE All Turf PK3s. All about the turf today as I have 8 turf races handicapped between NY and KY.

Lots of action for a Thursday. For today’s Free Pick ~ Keeneland race 3 – #2 GELLHORN – This Danny Gargan trained daughter of Volatile makes her…

OK, For Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped all 8 races from Keeneland with PK5 PK4 PK3 and All Turf PK3. Lots of Top Pick Winners over the weekend and unfortunately, too many 2nds. I had four key turf horses all run 2nd at nice prices. We’re back fresh and I’ll be adding NY into the mix as turf racing has resumed at Aqueduct. They back loaded the cards so the Late PK5s look great. For Wednesday’s Free Pick ~ Keeneland race 8 ~ #3 CHILD OF THE MOON – This Chad Brown trained runner makes her 3rd start of her racing…
