Horse Racing Picks Are Easy. Understanding the Race Is the Edge.
Most pick sites give you a few names. Battaglia’s Picks gives you full-card analysis built around exacta structure, race shape, value, and the reasoning behind every contender.
Use the selections directly — or study the analysis to sharpen your own handicapping.
Built for Serious Exacta Players
- Top 4 Exacta Players in every covered race

How the Battaglia Exacta Approach Works
Every race is viewed through the lens of exacta construction. The goal is to understand how the race fits together — not simply name one horse.
See the Level of Detail
When Battaglia’s Picks identifies an Exacta Value Horse, members know exactly why.
💰 VALUE EXACTA PLAYER
#4 — Anglophile (10-1): Anglophile qualifies as a Value Exacta Player at 10-1 on a career profile that towers over this field in both earnings and class — $1.1 million lifetime with Grade 2 placings. His most recent start was a second-place finish at Keeneland in this exact condition. Lynch is winning at 23% in 2026 from 111 starts, an elite trainer rate. His 31-60 Days angle of 156 starts, 28%, $2.41 ROI, and Turf angle of 220 starts, 21%, $2.44 ROI, are both above threshold and elite. Velazquez at 19% in 2026 is another qualifying positive. At 10-1, Anglophile’s class profile, recent condition fit, and elite trainer data represent significant overlay value.
That is the difference.
The public may see a 10-1 horse and simply call it a longshot. Battaglia’s Picks shows why that horse belongs in the exacta conversation.
