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 Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Gulfstream park and races 5-9 from Tampa bay Downs with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Tampa Bay has three turf races in the sequence wit ha single in the final leg, a few play for minimal investment. That’s one thing I don’t do is list PK5 tickets that cost $200, $300, etc. Those who list plays like that don’t handicap, they just take out the blatant bad ones and use all the others. I actually handicap the races, do my best to find a single to stand on as…

OK, For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Gulfstream park and races 5-9 from Tampa bay Downs with Pick5, pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. 7 Top Pick Winners from 15 Wednesday races going 5/10 at GP and 2/5 at TBD. The money shows down in Florida for sure, smaller pools and they don’t lock out the computers like NY does so there are always odds changes after they have already left he gate. Thought I had some smart ones identified but most took lots of money but I piled up the winners. Some interesting sequences today, lots of…

OK, For Wednesday I’ve completely handicapped Gulfstream Park races 1-10 and Tampa Bay races 5-9 with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Christmas Week starts today with a decent series of races at GP. While I would enjoy more turf racing, the Tapeta races have been very competitive and exciting and I’m happy to have them. The dirt races seem to disappoint but at least it doesn’t seem we’re getting overwhelmed with cheap claimers. I do like the races today, the Late PK5 looks ripe for a nice payoff and I can’t wait to play. A few interesting ones at…
