Stathead Matt's Picks for 7/26/2010

I'm hoping my picks for you today are as good for you as Saturday's were. Saturday saw 5 winners in a row. We started off cold but hit in race 5 when Moonwalk Beauty scratched and moved up Lindsay's Point into the top spot. Lindsay's Point started a string of winners that included: Spa City Fever, Wine Police, Ash Zee, and Devil May Care. We missed the Pick 6 on the last race, but still turned in the second best string of five consecutive races at the track this weekend, behind only Javier Castellano's 5 consecutive wins as a jockey on Sunday.
