ABOUT THE WIZARD AND HIS PRODUCT LINE

Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Michael Kipness, better known as The Wizard. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to work at my ‘dream job’ since 1987, when I began to offer to the public my horseracing handicapping selections and analysis for Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga. In the early nineties, I was able to broaden the scope of my daily horseracing selections to include most major circuits nationwide. With the addition of these new tracks, and because simulcasting had become so widespread, it served to lay the groundwork for additional Wizard handicapping products that are available today.

For those of you who are interested in learning more about me and what I do on a daily basis to produce my sheets, I’ve included some links below to articles that have been written about me in the Daily Racing Form, Horseplayer Magazine, and in other places. They describe, better than I can, my love for this game and my dedication to giving my clients the best information available.

When I sought to expand upon my menu of handicapping products, the first sheet that I unveiled, about 13 years ago, was The Wizard’s Pick Three, Pick Four, Pick Six, and Trifecta sheet. This sheet was an instant success, as it focused in on the strongest exotic wagering opportunities from across the country. Every report consists of a detailed wagering strategy, where even a small play could result in a nice profit. I encourage you to take a look at the free sample that’s available. There is no other handicapping product like this available anywhere in the country.

The only handicapping product that I publish 7 days a week is The Wizard’s Pick of the Day. Each day I scour the nation for what I feel is the strongest play from ALL of the tracks running that day. A complete wagering strategy, often including exactas and trifectas, is provided, along with a comprehensive analysis of the race. The Pick of the Day rarely is the morning line favorite.

The Wizard’s National Simulcast Best Bets Sheet is a compilation of my Crystal Ball Selections (best bets) from my daily sheets for that racing day. All plays and wagering strategies are laid out in post-time order to provide structure to your day. This sheet also includes my Pick of the Day, a $6.00 value, FREE OF CHARGE.

In addition to the regular daily sheets I’ve mentioned above, I also publish several stakes packages throughout the year. My focus is on the Triple Crown races and on the Breeders’ Cup. I go into great detail to provide the reader with all of the information you need to help you make winning wagers, including my suggested wagering strategies for every race.
