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

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!
