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

The Houston Astros have been on a roll, beating some of the best teams in baseball over the last three series. And Hunter Brown as been a big reason for their success this season.

Brown is off to a fast start in 2023 and has a chance to bring home the Rookie of the Year hardware if he can continue on this pace.

With Brown in mind, we discuss how the rotation could look upon Lance McCullers' return, and we also hit on how the Astros would set their playoff rotation if the postseason started today.

Be sure to check out the video above as we break it all down.
