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
