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, A nice day of racing awaits as I’ve completely handicapped Aqueduct 1-9 and DelMar race 8 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Nice turf action today, unfortunately we lost the Churchill race as it came off the turf, but the NY and Delmar turf races are very interesting. I’m looking to make a score with the Late PK4. Started the meet off good at Aqueduct but got a little slow yesterday with short fields and little opportunity to get longer priced horses home. Looking to have a solid weekend.

OK, We enter into the last phase of NY racing today as we usher in the 6 month season at Aqueduct. I will continue to handicap Aqueduct through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and will switch my attention to Gulfstream Park in early December. I did close the day Sunday with 2 Top Pick Winners as Tapitation $11 and Astologist $18 combined for a $105 Cold Daily Double to close a very solid Belmont meet. For Wednesday I have completely handicapped Aqueduct races 1-9 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Three turf races at Aqueduct today so we will have…

OK, Back to reality after yesterdays domination by the Champ – American Pharoah. That was the race I was expecting in the Travers – but it was tremendous to watch him run away and hide from the field. I did have Wavell Avenue as my other BC winners yesterday, but as with all Breeders’ Cups, every race is a betting adventure. But I did have 3 Top Pick Winners at Belmont when nobody was looking including first time starter VINCENTO who paid $16.20 $8.70 & $6.00 and I really liked SUMMER CANDY in the last who got it done at…

OK, Lots of chaos as expected yesterday with the exception of Liam’s Map who despite trouble won like a 1/5 shot should. But to me that’s what the Breeders’ Cup races are about, taking the shot with the best odds horse possible once you figure out the players. For weeks I loved Catch a Glimpse but downgraded her with the unknown of that shitty Keeneland turf and it cost me. I had Hit It A Bomb higher too but made a slight adjustment. I had it surrounded yesterday but we couldn’t run our Pick4 ticket out losing in the Distaff.…

~~~~ KEENELAND RACE 3 ~ (3 star) Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies – This race goes through the favorite Songbird who has been impressive winning all three starts in a gallop. She is the main speed but has drawn the outside and should be challenged up front. Tap To It is a very nice filly and has made a tremendous appearance in the mornings. I was very impressed with Nickname who won her last in the slop, but should be able to sit behind Songbird and power home for victory. Rachel’s Valentina and Dothraki Queen both should vie for minor awards.…
