Here are my selections for Friday night at Sam Houston Race Park. 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
5-4-3-8
IZA DADDY has been super consistent and should contend here


SECOND
7-8-4-2
D'ROCKETMAN has a win over the local surface and some nice tries at Remington


THIRD
4-9-1-5
STORMY DEPENCIER struggled in last but barn usually has them ready


FOURTH
8-7-2-1
INSURRECTION ran into trouble in last but prior start puts him in the mix


FIFTH
8-4-3-1
HEADLINING showed some life in Kentucky in last start and could get it done here

SIXTH
4-1-10-7
WHENTHEPENNYDROPS could be a nice fit in this spot


SEVENTH
9-2-7-5
TRUE CONFESSION has been off since July but faced tough runners


EIGHTH
7-8-3-5
YOUNG PHILLIP has been close against some very talented fiels


NINTH
2-10-8-1
BELLE STRIKE should improve with the stretch-out, surface change and second start


TENTH
4-10-9-7
CONTENDRESS showed some life in last and might be coming around
