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, 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.

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. The Top Pick Winners were – GP race 3 – #WEIGHT OF GOLD – $13.80 $7.00 & $6.40 GP race 4 – #6 LUCKY BELLA – $6.20 $3.20 & $2.80 w/ the $16 exacta & $49.40 double Friday’s races look very inviting but can only hope we get the entire card on the turf as rain is crossing Florida.

OK, Rough day all around yesterday as we endured some tough trips ending the day with 1 Top Pick Winner from 9 races but had 5 Listed Winners too. The Top Pick Winner was #9 Gryvon of re-purchase by connections which is a huge sign for me. #9 GRYVON ~ $14.80 $6.80 & $4.60 w/ the $72.60 exacta, $361 trifecta & $2174 superfecta For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream 1-10 plus Santa Anita 5th with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested.

OK, Finished up Sunday with 3 more Top Pick Winners and finished the week at Gulfstream 11/50 for 22% Top Pick Winners but Sunday left a bad taste after enduring a horrible beat with Conquest Bebob then Gulfstream unscratched a horse, took the rest ofthe races off the turf and my day was toast. To summarize Conquest Bebops run I wrote this trip note which says it all “broke slow from 11 post, 5 wide into 1st turn, 4 wide on backstretch, rushed past leaders after 6 furlongs, put favorite away off the far turn, opened up in stretch, nailed…
