Sam Houston Race Park selections for Saturday, Feb. 15
Feb 15, 2020, 6:55 am
Here are my selections for Saturday 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
1-4-2-6
UPTOWN FLYING FLYNN just missed in last and could get it done
SECOND
1-3-2-4
Three-pronged entry could easily sweep the top three spots here
THIRD
4-3-2-1
MADIBA deserves another look shortening up from an OK effort at a mile
FOURTH
5-8-7-2
SWISS DOT likely needed last; past efforts are good enough to win this
FIFTH
5-7-8-9
GILES was a beaten favorite in last but similar effort could get it done
SIXTH
2-5-3-7
LITTLE CODE has some solid efforts and should be in the hunt if race stays on the grass
SEVENTH
8-3-1-2
PRINCE JET gets Lasix off a speed and fade debut; should be tough to catch
EIGHTH
8-4-9-1
COMPLETE SENSE should be in the mix if she goes; if not KERTARA looks solid
NINTH
4-5-2-1
TAKE CHARGE WOMAN has solid works for debut and could be ready
TENTH
2-5-10-3
MO AMERICAN is a son of Triple Crown winner American Pharaoh; should be tough

With the NFL Draft right around the corner, Texans GM Nick Caserio met with the media to discuss the team's approach this year since they no longer have a first round pick. He also answered questions about the acquisition of Stefon Diggs, and addressed any concerns the team has about their new receiver having the reputation as a “diva.”
In the video above, Rich Eisen reacts to Caserio's presser and projects how the season will play out for the Texans with Diggs added to the team. Let's just say he's bullish on the Texans.
