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.

Had a great weekend last week, tabbing a few long priced horses that either won or finished second. I have 6 races handicapped for Saturday available on www.pick4win.com including 4 races at Belmont Park and 2 races at Keeneland. For today’s Free Pick ~ Belmont race 2 – #9 Willet – she makes her 3rd start of the cycle so she should run a very strong race. With the race at 7 furlongs and the main speed horse on a big down cycle, the chances are excellent her closing style will be perfectly suited for today. The favorite will have…

I have handicapped 7 races for today including 3 @ Belmont Park (races 7-9, so I have a great Pick3 opportunity and most of the late Pick4 identified), 3 @ Keeneland ( races 3-4, & 9 with a juicy 10/1 + shot on top in the QE2) , plus the Hawthorne Derby which has the look of the best…
