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, We kick off closing week at Saratoga today with an interesting card. It doesn’t appear to be very appealing at first to most, but I’ve found about four different spots where I have a 12/1 – 15/1 shot on top, although that means less at Saratoga, but I’ll leave it at that. I’m interested in digging into the card today, taking my swings, looking to cash that big ticket. For Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped Saratoga 2-10 with Pick5, Pick4, and Pick3 wagers suggested. I did tag a few Top Pick Winners on Monday and look to build on that…

OK, A memorable day yesterday for everyone at Saratoga Race Course as Arrogate burst onto the scene with one of the best races I’ve ever seen. The awe inspiring performance was 2nd only to American Pharoah winning The Belmont Stakes in all my years of viewing live races. When Arrogate started to open up mid-stretch, I got goose bumps. When I watched the replay this morning – same thing. That is one scintillating colt. I started out on Fire yesterday tabbing 3 winners in the 1st five races & got 2nd with a Top Pick who was 17/1. The best…
