Here are my selections for Monday. 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). Rough start to the quarter horse meet but it will come around.

SECOND
6-3-4-5

RAYO TO THE TOP might finally be in the right spot for a win

FIFTH
8-1-3-6
RM DASHIN DEAL should improve with a start over the track

SIXTH
