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.

Alrighty, Bonus Holiday selections available today as I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream races 1-11 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. I’m a tad behind this morning, so I may still add a few turf races from Santa Anita but won’t be till around 3PM Eastern, so if you purchase today, check the website or my Twitter feed later. A good day was had by Pick4win Players Sunday as I did score with the Best Bet which I also talked about on the Elite Racing Network, unfortunately what happens when I do that is the horse gets crushed in the wagering.…

OK, Felt like a 3rd rate boxer yesterday in the ring with Mike Tyson – enduring body shot after body shot while hoping to land a good punch. I did select 3 Top Pick Winners from 14 races including my Best Bet from Santa Anita – Dreamologist, but was haunted by a few bad decisions which ran 2nd. I reached too far for a winner and placed Manchurian High 2nd as “the one to beat” not knowing he’d come close to the $17 he paid to win, thought he’d be in the $7 range. But, we’re horse players. You wake…

OK, Big day for Pick4win Players on Friday as I scored 7 Top Pick Winners from 11 Gulfstream races. Rain washed away the turf races, we had many scratches, but 7 Top Pick Winners is a ridiculous feat accomplished by few I can remember lead by Scorch who paid $24.80 $9.60 & $5.40. Gulfstream 1st – #4 SWEETWATER -$4.00 $2.80 $2.10 w/ $22.60 exacta & $42.60 trifecta Gulfstream 2nd – #7 RECKLESS MOVE – $3.20 $2.20 $2.10 w/$9.40 exacta, $20 trifecta & $9 double Gulfstream 5th – #5 INDYGITA – $12.20 $5.60 & $3.00 Gulfstream 6th – #OUR COMMODORE -…

OK, Another mentally grinding day at Gulfstream as I had 2 Top Pick Winners from 10 races but had 6 Listed Winners as well so depending on your wagering style and final seelctions – there was money to be made.
