“Silvercup” Will Be My Bread And Butter At Belmont (10/24)

Oct 24th, 2009 | By | Category: Belmont, Today's Picks

Sloppy and off the turf in another horrible weekend weather day at Belmont.  In race 8, The Iroquois on New York Showcase Day, Silvercup Baby (#11) does her best running on wet tracks and can get a good stalking trip from an outside post at a good price.  I’m playing in doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with Afleet Alexandra (#12) and Sweet Lorena (#6).

In race 4, an off the turf race at 7 furlongs, Bill Bear (#11) towers over the field and should be your key in doubles and pick 3′s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 10, 6 and 7

Race 2: 4 and 1X

Race 3: 6 and 3

Race 4: 11 (Best Bet) and 10

“Six” Is The “Pick” At Keeneland (10/24)

Oct 24th, 2009 | By | Category: Keeneland, Today's Picks

Fast and yielding at Keeneland on Saturday with the usual big fields, longshot contenders and unpredictable form — but that what makes handicapping so much fun.  In race 8, a competitive mile on the turf, Pick Six(#3) likes the distance, a soft course and gets some class relief today.  I’m playing him in doubles and pick 3′s and also using Antrim County (#8) in exactas with the choice.

In race 9, The Raven Run, Sky Haven (#11) can get a nice stalking trip and score at a decent price in another competitive field.  I’m playing her in doubles and pick 3′s and in an exacta box with Just Jenda (#2) and Flashing (#8).

In race 10, Grassy Nellie (#11) loves a soft turf course and can get 1 1/8 miles — great opportunity to cap the pick 3 and late double.  I’m also playing an exacta box with Magical Theatre (#8) and Prytania (#5).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 8, 5 and 4

Race 2: 8, 3 and 1

Race 3: 1, 7 and 2

Race 4: 6, 9 and 4

Race 5: 2 and 3

Race 6: 2, 10 and 8

Race 7: 2, 4 and 6

Race 8: 3 (Best Bet) and 8

Race 9: 11 (Best Bet) with 2 and 8

Race 10: 11 (Best Bet) with 8 and 5



Not A “Fringe” Player At Keeneland (10/18)

Oct 18th, 2009 | By | Category: Keeneland, Today's Picks

Fast and yielding at Keeneland where full fields and great challenges await all handicappers!  In race 5, Radical Fringe (#3) is second off the layoff and has the right stalking style to run down the speed at 6 furlongs. I’m keying in doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with Cya Later Bert (#2) and My Best Pal Red (#7).

In race 6, a 1 1/2 mile marathonon turf, Shake The Moon (#7) towers over these on paper and should win as the favorite.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 6 and 5

Race 2: 3 and 5

Race 3: 3 and 6

Race 4: 5, 7 and 2

Race 5: 3 (Best Bet) with 2 and 7

Race 6: 7 Best Bet) with 8 and 1

Race 7: 5 and 4

Race 8: 4 and 8

Oct 18th, 2009 | By | Category: Belmont, Today's Picks

Sloppy and off the turf again at Belmont.  In race 8, an “off the turf” event at 1 1/16 miles, Starship Angel (#8) handles the wet going and is the only one in the field who can get the distance — I’m keying in doubles and pick 3′s.

In race 2, James Wilfred (#6) can capitalize on a fast pace and get up to post the upset.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with Unwritten (#3).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 3 and 4

Race 2: 6 (Best Bet) and 3
