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.

We had SIX Top Pick Winners yesterday, but they were mostly short prices. But Top Pick Winners are Top Pick Winners. We move into Monday, only 7 racing days left in the Saratoga Season. Funny things will happen this week, the ‘Ship Money Phenomena’ – as big priced horses win without any other logical explanation. I have all 10 races with suggested Pick3’s and both Pick4’s available. Visit www.pick4win.com to purchase today’s selections. For Monday’s Free Pick ~ Saratoga race 4 – #5 Jan’s Perfect Star – this speedy filly tries turf for the first time. She won last out,…

Back at it Sunday but I don’t know how. Took another brutal loss, this time with Mentor Cane in the Kings Bishop. I know he is immensely talented and had a legitimate excuse for his previous effort. I bet him with both hand, then went back for more. He ran the field into the ground early. opened up 4 lengths mid-stretch only to get run down by some Todd Pletcher rat. Heartbreaking loss again, this one only cost me $5000 as I would have had both Pick4’s and the trifecta in the Kings Bishop. Two horrible bad beat seconds in…
