Betting The Races
Sam Houston Race Park selections for Friday, Feb. 1
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. If the races come off the turf due to rain, check out Twitter and I will update the picks. (These are the picks and format that are available on the free tip sheet at SHRP)
FIRST
6-3-4-2
MORE THAN A MELODY will be a short price but looks solid here
SECOND
1-5-4-7
Another short-priced Asmussen runner who is hard to get around
THIRD
8-11-4-10
WHITE WALLS is really good at this distance on the turf and should be in the mix
FOURTH
5-7-6-2
We will take a flyer with some firsts, including WITT'S GRAND, who should be a big price
FIFTH
2-12-3-6
TELESCOPIC PLAN struggled in last but priors fit well in this spot
SIXTH
7-5-4-8
FOREST GIRL is in good form and will need to be sharp to beat RARE POPPY
SEVENTH
8-4-2-6
CHAT RAT is one of two Broberg runners in here and both look good
EIGHTH
8-11-9-1
TOMMY GROSSMAN faced a tough group in last and should fare better here
