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.

I have 8 races handicapped and available on www.pick4win.com Friday. They are Gulfstream Park races 3-10 with suggested PK3, the Late PK4, and PK5 wagers. For Friday’s Free Pick ~ Gulfstream race 8 ~ #6 Artie’s Jasper – this gelding makes his 2nd start off the layoff after experiencing trouble turning for home. Trainer hits at 26% 2nd off the 45-180 day layoff. Stretches out today to 1 3/8’s around three turns but that should prove to be for the best as his mare won Hurdler Stakes races at up to 2 1/4 miles. The further the better has never…

Today I have the General George from Laurel and races 4-10 at Gulfstream with suggested PK3’s, the LAte PK4, and the PK5. For today’s Free Pick – Gulfstream race 8 – #4 Daddy Likes That – makes 2nd start off the layoff for hot barn. Broke from the 12 post last time and was bumped in the 1st turn. He made a strong move but weakened late. That races sets him up well for today and he should be fitter for today’s attempt. Jock sticks for winning effort. The very best of luck.

A ridiculous day we had yesterday on www.pick4win.com as I had 5 Top Pick Winners and 10 Listed Winners from 14 races Saturday with 5 exactas, 3 DD’s and a $171 PK3. Best of all, my lone selection at Santa Anita won ~ Black Tunic paying $52.80 $27.00 & $11.80. I had 2 of 3 in my PK3 at Santa Anita which would have been huge, but we missed. It seemed that was the way the day went as I couldn’t string the winner together for PK3’s but there was money to be made nonetheless. For Sunday I have the…
