PLAYING THE PONIES
Here are my selections for Saturday 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
2-1-4-5
DRIVEN BY RESULTS
Stretches out and might pull off a mild surprise
SECOND
4-6-2-1
SS HIGHLY COVERT
Has been consistently close and this might be the night
THIRD
1-5-6-7
BORGER BOY
Heads a tough entry and either horse could take this one
FOURTH
6-2-1-7
MOMAS DEALING
Can easily be in the mix with a clean start
FIFTH
8-4-6-1
THE ROXY GIRL
Has been close before and this looks like a good spot
SIXTH
5-6-2-7
FINANCIAL TOP
Has improved and last few starts have been good enough
SEVENTH
2-7-3-4
EOS A POLITICAL WIN
Likes to win but faces a very competitive group
EIGHTH
8-7-3-4
HAWKEYE
Has faced some of the best runners in the country and draws a favorable post
Does the Astros disastrous start to the season fall on the shoulders of manager Joe Espada? Would Dusty Baker have this team in a better position?
