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.

FIRST
3-4-7-6
RACEY BLAZE exits a tough heat and fits well here


SECOND
6-3-4-5
LA RAPID CHIRONOMY draws a favorable post and has been close a few times


THIRD
2-3-6-4
JESSCOMARUNNING should be in a good spot for win No. 3


FOURTH
3-7-4-5
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
3-5-4-6
JESS ELEVEN OR SEVEN already has a win at this condition

SEVENTH
4-6-7-5
IS EL TRECE has been close in Louisiana and could break through

EIGHTH
4-9-8-2
MALALA STOLIS was close against a nice runner in debut and should improve

Here’s why MLB is finally seeing the light about an Astros scandal that wasn’t

Carlos Beltran missed out on his first opportunity to be inducted in the Hall of Fame this week, and we discuss how his involvement in the 2017 sign-stealing scandal may have played a role.

Plus, are we seeing a turning of the tide with national baseball writers and their opinion of the Houston Astros?

Bob Nightengale wrote this about Carlos Beltran and the Hall of Fame recently:

But we’re really going to ignore all of that and admonish him for participating in the Astros’ sign-stealing scandal.
Really?
Are we going to do the same with everyone who played for the Red Sox and Yankees during those years, too, when they were fined and disciplined for the illegal use of Apple Watches and dugout phones to relay signs?
Should we hold that against future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander, who obviously didn’t benefit from the sign stealing as a pitcher, but didn’t tell his teammates to stop it?
Enough already.
We’re not talking about performance-enhancing drugs here. Sign stealing has been going on for the past 100 years. There are teams who have used hidden cameras for years. Team employees flashed signs from outfield seats and scoreboards.

Check out the video above as we break it all down.
