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, We’re back! It’s Opening Day at Saratoga Race Course and we will have a record crowd to prove it. They were already lined up for picnic tables at 3:30 this morning, usually reserved for a Travers Day crowd but after being shut in for 2020, the fans will come out in droves this season. For Thursday I’ve completely handicapped all 10 races from Saratoga with Pick5, Pick4 and Pick3 wagers suggested. Its a long meet and discipline is needed. Just because they offer numerous wagers, you don’t have to play them all. Stay in your comfort zone, after all,…
