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).

The Houston Texans might be flying under the radar, but are they quietly building one of the NFL's best rosters? In this episode, we dive into why the Texans could have the third-best defense in the league, and whether the hype around stars like Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. is justified.
We also question Pro Football Focus and other ranking systems: Is Will Anderson being graded fairly among elite edge rushers?
Weak interior?
Are the Texans really in the low 20s for interior D-line rankings?
Plus, we talk about the latest on Juice Scruggs. Is he still in the mix, or just holding a spot with no reps? And don’t miss our take on whether the Texans have the best combo of offensive and defensive players in the NFL right now.
Watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break it all down!
