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.

Free Pick4win.com Gulfstream Horse Pick for Saturday 12/26 OK, Big day of racing today, not quite as large as Opening Day at Saratoga, but Santa Anita opens their doors to kick off their big season with some great racing. It also should kick off Gulfstream’s ‘real’ season and hopefully we’ll see deeper, better racing in South Florida rather than the excessively cheap races they have been carding all to regularly. Stakes races galore litter the afternoon as both Gulfstream and Santa Anita have plenty of races worth wagering & watching. My Best Bet of the Day will be on turf…

OK, Short stack of selections today as I’ve handicapped Gulfstream races 6-10 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Trying to avoid $6,250 claimers like a disease so went straight to the Late Pick5 and I have a 4 Star single to help out. We cashed a nice winner on Sunday with Gone Away paying $16 at Gulfstream, another Double Digit turf winner for the home team. I’ve already started handicapping for Saturday, the next day of selections, as it kicks off the season at Santa Anita plus some very good races to be drawn at Gulfstream will lead to…

Free Pick4win.com Gulfstream Horse Pick for Sunday 12/20 OK, We finished up Saturday with 2 Top Pick Winner & 5 other Listed Winners from 11 Gulfstream races including the Best Bet Solemn Tribute who paid $12.00 $6.80 & $3.80. We missed in race 10 or we would have cashed out the last two PK3’s and the Late PK4 – but it was for not. Kind of a shitty card today but there are enough turf races to make things interesting so I’ll try and string some races together and cash some running wagers. Today most likely will be the last…

OK, Kicking of the last big race day until Saturday 12/26 with races from all over the country. For today I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream 1-11 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested plus Aqueduct race 8, Tampa Bay race 9, and the Fair Grounds races 6 & 8. The Aqueduct race features a horse I’ve been waiting for while the Tampa race and the Fair Grounds races are turf affairs where I’ve identified a very live runner in each and am looking to make a few scores. The Gulfstream races start slow but the card finishes strong with its share…

OK, Only one Top Pick Winner on Thursday from 10 races as Peaky Blinders took all the early money but drifted up to 3/1 and gased this field. She opened up 4 lengths on the lead, cruised around the turn and held off the late runners. We had both Joe Sharp horses, trained by assistant Jason Barkley, listed as “the one to beat” in the 2nd spot – and both beat them all to the winners circle. Congrats Jason. For Friday I have completely handicapped Gulfstream races 1-10 with both Pick5’s, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I normally don’t list…
