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.

After a sizzling hot weekend last week, we are cruising into this weekend with a slightly different format on www.pick4win.com . I am trying less Spot Plays, but am handicapping the 2nd half of the Gulfstream card with suggested Pick3’s and a Pick4 wagers. More and more people are playing the PK3’s and PK4’s I wanted to see if my customer base enjoyed this format. I crushed last weekend and had 2 Top Pick Winners and 7 Listed Winners from 7 races Sunday with 5 exactas and 3 trifectas too. Plenty of money to be made if your betting strategy…

If you purchased selections yesterday or have Weekend Warrior or Lifetime Packages, how did you like yesterday when I ran the card at Gulfstream from 3rd race on. Do you prefer that format to my normal spot plays where I find a race with a weak favorite and feel I have an advantage? The downside to running out a card normally is races that do not appeal to my strengths and may be as low as a (1 Star) play. You can weigh in on that subject by sending me an email [email protected] or tweet me @pick4win .

For Sunday’s Free Pick ~ Gulfstream Park race 10 – #3 Discreet Marq – this filly is very talented and is the main speed today. She lost to the freak Tuttipaesi last time by less than 3 lengths. She makes her 2nd start over the GP turf today which is favoring speed now because it is so beat up, the sand flying during ‘kickback’ stings the horses faces and they are not closing much ground anymore. She will go wire to wire and pay a good price. Best of luck!

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…
