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, Back to reality today after seeing that monster Arrogate run on past Cali Chrome we have a dainty 8 race card on tap from Aqueduct where I’ve completely handicapped all 8 races with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wager suggested. They are a few nice sequences today including the Late PK4 and the PK3 starting with today’s Free Pick – I’m going to step in and see if we can remove a few piles of cash. Visit Pick4win.com to purchase today’s selections or if you purchased the BC Package you get today for free. For Sunday’s Free Pick ~ Aqueduct…

Alright, Unsuccessful wagering day for me yesterday as I didn’t structure my wagers well enough to capitalize on what was good handicapping. I had all the BC race winners listed in my selections but only Beholder was a Top Pick win selection. On my tickets, I went two deep in the Dirt Mile – yet was sitting with a buddy who used my selections and went four deep in the Dirt Mile, I had Tamarkuz in the 4th spot, and he cashed the Late Pick4 a few times and left quite excited for today. As any seasoned race tracker will…

OK, Breeders’ Cup Weekend has finally arrived and I certainly have some interesting and different opinions. Obviously these are the deepest, toughest races we gamble on all year. You will lose more races than you win, but if you cash a few races though out the two days you can still make a big score. The betting minimums for trifectas, PK3 and PK4 wagers should all be in the $0,50 increment which allows us to play tickets reaching for the sky without spending boat loads. I have a Breeders Cup Weekend package available which allows you access from today through…
