OK, Back to reality after yesterdays domination by the Champ – American Pharoah. That was the race I was expecting in the Travers – but it was tremendous to watch him run away and hide from the field. I did have Wavell Avenue as my other BC winners yesterday, but as with all Breeders’ Cups, every race is a betting adventure. But I did have 3 Top Pick Winners at Belmont when nobody was looking including first time starter VINCENTO who paid $16.20 $8.70 & $6.00 and I really liked SUMMER CANDY in the last who got it done at…

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, Lots of chaos as expected yesterday with the exception of Liam’s Map who despite trouble won like a 1/5 shot should. But to me that’s what the Breeders’ Cup races are about, taking the shot with the best odds horse possible once you figure out the players. For weeks I loved Catch a Glimpse but downgraded her with the unknown of that shitty Keeneland turf and it cost me. I had Hit It A Bomb higher too but made a slight adjustment. I had it surrounded yesterday but we couldn’t run our Pick4 ticket out losing in the Distaff.…
~~~~ KEENELAND RACE 3 ~ (3 star) Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies – This race goes through the favorite Songbird who has been impressive winning all three starts in a gallop. She is the main speed but has drawn the outside and should be challenged up front. Tap To It is a very nice filly and has made a tremendous appearance in the mornings. I was very impressed with Nickname who won her last in the slop, but should be able to sit behind Songbird and power home for victory. Rachel’s Valentina and Dothraki Queen both should vie for minor awards.…

OK, We have arrived at Day 1 of the Breeders’ Cup for 2015 and I’m excited to get started. I’ve been saying for weeks that I see these races way different than most this year and will either be the smartest guy in the room by Saturday night or just another also ran. You will be able to tell exactly what I mean when you see my Day 1 Friday BC selections from Keeneland. This is Saratoga-esque betting – win or lose, just step back up to the plate and swing away at the next race. These races are extremely…
