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
3-1-7-6
FLYING J GIDEON showed improvement in last and should move forward


SECOND
5-2-1-7

THIRD
11-12-10-8
CYPRESS POINT has been on some tough circuits; fits well here


FOURTH

AMERICAN LEAGUE was a beaten favorite in last; should fare better here


FIFTH

CATCH THE DEVIL might have finally found the right spot

SIXTH

4-12-10-6
BO TEE should have an improved effort if he gets back on the turf

Texans GM NIck Caserio is making all the right moves. Composite Getty Image.

The New York Jets just handed Sauce Gardner the biggest contract ever given to a cornerback, a massive 4-year, $120.4 million deal. But what does that mean for the Houston Texans and Derek Stingley Jr.?

In this video, we break down the numbers, compare Stingley's 3-year, $90M deal, and explain why Texans GM Nick Caserio looks like an absolute genius right now. We also touch on what this means for the Nico Collins extension, why Caserio’s smarter deals are reshaping the NFL, and why Stingley might just be the better corner, on a better contract.

Be sure to watch as ESPN Houston's Jeremy Branham and Joel Blank weigh in!
