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 2 races come off the turf Friday which left us with 4 races. We finished with 4 Listed Winners with 2 exactas, 2 PK3’s a trifecta, a superfecta, the Late PK4. So it was a successful day even with short wagering opportunities. For Saturday, I have changed things slightly as I have basically handicapped the Full Card at Gulfstream having posted races 3 – 11. All eyes will be on GP so I wanted my customers to be able to play Rolling PK3’s, the PK5, and Late PK4 if those are the wagers they want to play. Go…

Grass Picks for Grass ONLY A little different today as I have done basically the Full Card at Gulfstream. Some races I normally would not post or select because of heavy favorites (rc8) or because they are only 2 Star races and I didn’t have a strong enough opinion (rc6 & 11). But since all eyes are on GP today, I wanted everyone to have a chance with the rolling PK3’s, the PK5 and late PK4. GULFSTREAM race 3 ~ (4 star) #3 SKY CAPTAIN – 2nd off layoff, stretches out #5 EL DURO – the one to catch #2…

I have 6 races handicapped and available on www.pick4win.com including the late Pick4 from Gulfstream (races 7-10) and two race at Santa Anita (races 3&7). The NYRA product has gotten to be horrid. They start Friday with four straight 5 horse fields. It’s completely unbettable racing. They tightened up some of the drug withdrawal periods and we now can’t attract a shipper even for huge purses. That says something about the state of racing. For Friday’s Free Pick ~ Gulfstream race 7 – #8 Big Notion – won two races back very impressively but last time had an awkward start…

We ended up Sunday with 5 Listed Winners from 6 races with 4 exactas, 1 trifecta, & 1 superfecta. Sunday’s Free Pick Queen of Mambo broke slow, exploded around the far turn, was bumped mid-stretch, and missed being a $21 winner by 4 inches. She was moved to 2nd via DQ, but I feel she was so much the best and with a touch more racing luck, we would have cashed out big time. I have 5 races handicapped for Monday available on www.pick4win.com including 2 at Gulfstream Park (races 7&9) and one race each from Aqueduct (race 6), Oaklawn…
