OK, A great day of racing awaits as two nice cards I’ve focused on. I’ve completely handicapped Belmont 1-9 and Kentucky Downs 6-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Some really opportunistic spots to wager on today, the Belmont races look very good as I think I’ve identified some very good spots to try and beat a few favorites. At KY Downs, those races are so deep I actually have a 30/1 shot on Top ans can’t wait to bet. These are the kind of days you hope to remember for a long time. Visit Pick4win.com to purchase today’s…

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, Only went 1/9 yesterday at Kentucky Downs but that’s not unexpected as these are deep competitive races where every exacta seems to be over $100. We cashed well with the smaller of two Best Bets when Triple Chelsea scored in the 8th.

OK, Saratoga has been closed for three days, you have to be jonesing to bet, right? Me too. Bring on Kentucky Downs, one of my favorite tracks to bet on since it is an all turf, European style race course. It has a hair pin turf, is undulating throughout, and is uphill to the finish. With turf racing my forte – I adore this track and love betting here. Prices abound in almost every race at the fields are full and competitive. For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped KY Downs races 1-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. The 1st…

OK, Closing Day at Saratoga race course – wow did that go fast. Had the time of my life again spending some much time on track enjoying all the sights, sounds, and racing. We had 2 Top Pick Winners on Sunday but cashed our best ticket when top choice Dearest ran 2nd at 6/1 in the 11th race. She lost to my 4th choice and if I’m playing exactas I box the top pick with the other three listed which netted us $414 for every $2 box. Score. For Monday I’ve completely handicapped Saratoga races 1-11 with Pick5, Pick4 and…

OK, Rolling into Sunday after scoring 3 Top Pick Winners on Saturday including the upset winner of The Woodward Stakes – #1 Shaman Ghost who ran a terrific race and got his nose down on the wire. I was the only person screaming in the back yard as 30,000 stood in silence. I screamed his name as he crossed the wire, a extremely satisfying victory as the meet winds down. For Sunday I have completely handicapped Saratoga race 1-12 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Today’s card is filled with opportunity, it’s gonna be a fun day. The last…
