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, Kicking off the first week of December with the last three cards that I will be handicapping at Aqueduct until spring. Gulfstream Park opens on Saturday for the Championship meet and my focus will be shifting there. Gulfstream has certainly become a strength of mine over the last half dozen years and I’m looking forward to refreshing my focus. For Wednesday I have completely handicapped Aqueduct races 1-9 plus Tampa Bay Downs race 2 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I have off turf selections for Aqueduct as it rained and the Tampa race might be the only…

OK, Last day of the weekend and still looking to score as I have two more turf stakes races left in the Hollywood Turf Festival. As usual, these races are deep with competition and you’ve been well rewarded if you’ve wagered correctly, so far I haven’t. My Best Bet of the Day is at Del Mar today as well so I’ll be biding my time with some Aqueduct rolling into Sunday night anxious to cash out in those turf stakes. For Sunday I have completely handicapped Aqueduct races 1-9 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested plus Del Mar 6…

OK, We are pressing on into Saturday after some bad beats and too many 2nds so far this week. Another great day of racing awaits with stakes galore from Del Mar to Aqueduct. Haven’t been able to connect yet at Del Mar with the Hollywood Turf Festival but that’s horse racing. On more than one occasion I’ve entered the last Festival race on Sunday night and cash one ticket that makes you forget the rest of the weekend. Let’s hope it doesn’t come down to that, but we still have faith tickets will be cashed both today and tomorrow. I…

OK, Felt like I was chewing glass yesterday as my horses did no running throughout the day. On days like that my neighbors must think I have Turrets as there is a chance of loud flying ‘F’ Bombs every 30 minutes. But its in the past and horse players can only move forward. The weekend is just getting started as we have some stakes races all across the USA. I have completely handicapped Aqueduct races 1-9, Churchill 9-12 and Del Mar race 7 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Nice turf action today as we kick off the Hollywood…
