PLAYING THE PONIES
Here are my selections for Friday night. These are not meant to be in exact order, but merely the four horses I think have the best chance to win. For beginners, I suggest exacta boxes with three horses, using two of mine and one of your own. And you can always pick up a copy of Acing Racing 2016 to learn everything you need to know. (These are the picks and format that are available on the free tip sheet at SHRP).
FIRST
2-3-5-1
NO HABITS HERE should get to the front early and prove tough to catch
SECOND
2-1-3-5
HEZ DASHIN BIGTIME has not shown much but stretch-out should help
THIRD
5-4-2-3
DM MARY DEAL has been getting closer and this might be the night
FOURTH
4-5-3-6
EYE AM TUFF comes off s strong effort and fits well here
FIFTH
8-7-2-3
ILUMATOR is a first time starter with decent works
SIXTH
4-5-1-6
CY ME N YOU PROSPECT missed as a favorite last out and needs a cleaner trip
SEVENTH
10-4-5-8
COUNTRY HOT DOGGIN just missed in last and outside post should help
EIGHTH
1-10-3-9
CLASSY SEIS should be in a good spot for a break through
The latest update from Astros GM Dana Brown on the club's flagship station did not ease anyone's concerns this week. Brown said he was optimistic that Kyle Tucker would be back before September. September?
Which made us wonder what type of injury Tucker is really dealing with? A bone bruise doesn't typically take this long to heal.
Be sure to watch the video above as ESPN Houston's Joel Blank and Barry Laminack share their thoughts on Tucker's health, the Astros' secrecy when it comes to injuries, and much more!
