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.

For Sunday’s Free Saratoga Pick ~ Race 1 – #2 Most Happy Fella – start the day off with a juicy winner. This one goes first off the Rick Dutrow claim from Pat Quick. That’s like bringing your car to a NASCAR mechanic after trying to fix your engine yourself. Gets Rosie today as well and I figure that is to boost the price as she has been better lately, but has had a horrid meet. She most likely will put him in front and play catch me if you can. He has two wins at the 9 furlong distance…
