Sam Houston Race Park selections for Friday, May 10

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
2-1-3-4
JESS FIRE N ICE might have found the right spot for a breakthrough


SECOND
5-6-3-1
EYESA SHOOFLY DANDY has some nice wins in the past and could flash back

THIRD
2-5-7-6
SILK N SEIS has just missed in last two and best effort might get it done

FOURTH
2-1-6-5
DYNO MAN should improve with a cleaner trip

FIFTH
1-6-5-8
FLYING TOOLE needed last and should improve in this spot

SIXTH
8-5-2-1
RJS CORONA has been close a few times and should be in the mix

SEVENTH
7-4-2-1
VODKA BLACK DUCK might surprise at a big price here

EIGHTH
1-8-7-3
ONEFAMOUSSTREAKINDASH ran a big one in last and fits well here
