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.

OK, For Saturday I’ve completely handicapped all 11 races from Keeneland and races 6-10 from Aqueduct with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Also listed are two All Turf PK3s and two Cross Country PK5’s Really nice day to play, competitive races everyday at Keeneland make cashing tickets more difficult but I’m up for the challenge. Picking your spots is essential with so many options for wagering. The 2nd half of the day seems best with the Late PK5’s, the All Turf PK3 and the XCPK5. I have a 30/1 shot on top that I’m hoping blows up every one…

OK, For Friday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Keeneland and races 5-9 from Aqueduct with Pick5, Pick4, Pick3 and the All Turf PK3 returns at Keeneland. Fantastic races today, lots of turf in NY but it also looks kinda form-full as I expect some of the favorites to be very tough. But the races at Keeneland look like they’ll produce fireworks all afternoon long. I have two 12/1 shots and a 10/1 shot on top, Best Bet is 5/1, all we need to do is cash a few running tickets, a few win bets and the day will…
