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
4-6-1-3
BIG EM C is a win machine and should be tough
SECOND
6-8-7-3
PADDLE WHEEL should get a nice trip behind the dueling front-runners
THIRD
4-6-1-3
LETHAL MOVE is consistent and fits well in this spot
FOURTH
6-1-2-3
GOLD PILOT is in sharp form and beat many of these in last
FIFTH
1-4-7-6
GEE SHE SPARKLES needed last and should take a step forward
SIXTH
5-2-4-6
REDATORY thrives in these Texas bred stakes races
SEVENTH
10-4-5-9
SUGAR FOOTIN BLING has some sharp efforts coming into this
EIGHTH
7-8-4-3
TEXAS BELLE romped in last; fits well here
NINTH
8-7-5-1
HES OUR FASTEST has been knocking heads with some tough runners
TENTH
11-7-9-5
XINGFU should be better with return to the turf course

The latest update from Astros GM Dana Brown on the club's flagship station did not ease anyone's concerns this week. Brown said he was optimistic that Kyle Tucker would be back before September. September?
Which made us wonder what type of injury Tucker is really dealing with? A bone bruise doesn't typically take this long to heal.
Be sure to watch the video above as ESPN Houston's Joel Blank and Barry Laminack share their thoughts on Tucker's health, the Astros' secrecy when it comes to injuries, and much more!
