He can sit just off the pace today as one of the seven entrants from Baffert and Asmussen will set the pace. It will be a coming out party for this precocious gelding.

The very best of luck!

Christmas Eve Free Selection

2011-12-24T09:49:00.001-05:00

Well,

I tried to take a few days off from handicapping.... but couldn't. I printed off the PP's for the Ginger Brew Stakes today at Gulfstream Park from the Free Past performance section on my blog and am going against one of my after Breeders Cup rules by selecting a horse who ran in the BC, while not very well which makes it more palatable. She was my selection in the Filly Juvenile Turf and didn't run a step having drawn in the 11 post.

Today's Free Pick ~

Gulfstream race 8 ~ #3 ANN OF THE DANCE - has some very nice racing on the Polytrack and is extremely well bred for turf. Her only turf race she was drawn extremely wide and didn't run a step. That was her 1st race for one of the best horseman in the USA - Marty Wolfsen, and if he thinks she'll turf - she'll turf. She has four workouts since the BC, draws a much better post today, and is 10/1 on the morning line so she is well worth a few sheckles. I am boxing her in the exacta as well - 3/1-6-7.

The very best of luck!

Zenyatta John's Free Sunday selection for 12/18

2011-12-18T10:35:00.000-05:00

OK,

Cooled off slightly Saturday as I has 4 Listed winners from 6 races with 2 exactas and a trifecta lifting me to 28 Listed winners from my last 33 races handicapped.

My Free Pick Saturday won the Hollywood Futurity - Liasion paying $12.20 $7.20 & $4.80.

I have 6 races handicapped for Sunday including 3 @ Gulfstream Park, 2 @ Aqueduct, and one from Hollywood Park.

For today's Free Pick ~

Gulfstream race 10 - #9 SUMMER FRONT - is 2/2 lifetime with both on turf. Has rated and shown speed so he is very versatile. The two colts to beat in here both drop from the Breeders Cup. I expect both to bounce since they were cranked to the gills to make the BC and failed, so regression is expected today. Summer Front has the positional speed to take the race to them regardless of the pace.

Today will be the last day of selections till Opening Day at Santa Anita which traditionally December 26th.

The very best of luck!

Zenyatta John's Free Saturday selection is in The Hollywood Futurity

2011-12-17T10:32:00.000-05:00

Ok,

Pick4win.com continues to bring winners, winners, and more winners. My five day streak now stands at 24 Listed winners from 27 races and I added 3 more exactas and 2 trifectas Friday as well. My free pick from yesterday got nailed on the wire by my 4th choice paying $12.80 $5.80 & $3.80 with the $57.80 exacta.

I have stopped trying to reach too far for big dollar winners or resurrect the dead and scaled back my selection process and it's paying off tremendously. I list 4 horses per race for superfecta wagering and for multi-race wager opportunities. When any of those 4 horses win, they are a Listed Winner. Some folks box all four in exactas. Some folks box my top pick with the other 3 in a exacta key box. Some folks spread in Pk 3's and Pk4's and use all four selections trying to make a score. There are many ways to use and cash with my selections, you just need to find and adapt them to your wagering style. Plus if you need FREE PP's, check out the left side of my blog and print out all the FREE PP's you'll need for today - i'm saving you $7 already for the Saturday DRF!

For Saturday, I have 6 races handicapped including 2 @ Aqueduct, 2 @ Gulfstream Park, and one each from Hollywood Park and the Fairgrounds.

For Saturday's Free Selections -

Hollywood race 9 - #9 LIASON - is blossoming at the right time for Bullet Bob Baffert, last win was impressive but his last work was sensational. He started over 10 lengths behind Sky Kingdom who is also entered in the Futurity and made up the 10 lengths in the stretch to pass that rival to earn the 'bullet' work for the day in an ultra impressive workout. Id blossoming at the right time, I expect a a breakout performance today from the Indian Charlie colt today.He has Victory Gallop on the bottom of his pedigree which will only help him excel the further he goes. This is a special colt for Bullet Bob Baffert.

Don't forget about my Free Selection offer for today! You have nothing to lose.
