Daily Picks — 7/4/20 (Including the Met Mile)

Happy Birthday, America! What a better way to spend the day than watching one of America’s oldest sport. There is an action-packed day at Belmont Park, including the G1-Stakes Met Mile, which is an absolutely loaded field. I’m going to break down that race horse-by-horse before getting to the rest of my Belmont picks ofContinue reading “Daily Picks — 7/4/20 (Including the Met Mile)”

I’ve only been “handicapping” daily for a few weeks now. I say “handicapping” because there are people that have devoted their entire life toContinue reading “My Philosophy”
