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, Sunday seemed to be the day of seconds, just didn’t have the racing luck to get us to the winners circle it seemed. I waited all day to play my Woodbine selection, Paddle Board, who went off at 21/1, ran a great race but could only get 2nd…. and I blew the exacta. Wasted. But Wednesday we start the week anew as the card from Aqueduct is very interesting. I’ve identified some races where I have 10/1+ horses on top and can’t wait for the action to start today. The Late Pick4 should be very rewarding. A great day…

OK, I finished the day Saturday with 4 Top Pick Winners from 13 races handicapped plus 5 more Listed Winners with gimmicks cashed. I got my Best Bet of the Day home rather easily as expected when Mr Maybe absolutely throttled his field at Aqueduct in a devastating performance that leaves me wanting more. He is a star in the making. We got some racing luck too as we got put up to 1st via DQ with Gentlemen’s Bet at Laurel for a $12 winner plus the Ice Cold – exacta, trifecta, and superfecta. For Sunday I have completely handicapped…

OK, We made the best of the card Friday as I effectively tabbed 5 Top Pick Winners from 9 races including #5 Miss Rickles in the 6th who paid $15.80 $8.60 & $5.70 plus we had the Late PK4 which paid $453. Short fields and short prices but we still cashed some nice tickets. Saturday looks like a great day to play as we have interesting stakes and turf affairs up and down the East Coast. I’ve completely handicapped Aqueduct races 1-9, Churchill races 6 and 10 plus Laurel Park races 9 and 10. Both Churchill races are on turf…

OK, The weekend gets underway with some interesting turf races in NY as I’ve completely handicapped Aqueduct races 1-9 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. We have some interesting turf races as long as they all stay on, which I’m hoping they do. I couldn’t find any plays worth while at either Del Mar or Churchill so I’ll be playing NY only today. I did have a nice Top Pick Winner yesterday in race 8 at Aqueduct when #7 UNCHARTED COURSE won paying $19.40 $10.60 & $6.40 plus 5 more Listed Winners. Also available from your Member Account are…

OK, More wet tracks await us today as we currently only have one turf race at #Aqueduct but I’ve ventured to Del Mar today where we have two very nice turf races that bookend the Late PK4, so we will have action throughout the afternoon into the evening. For Thursday I have completely handicapped Aqueduct 1-9 and Del Mar 4-8 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. We did have 3 Top Pick Winners splash home for us at Aqueduct yesterday and looking to keep that momentum going downhill. I do like wagering and handicapping for wet tracks, but I…
