PLAYING THE PONIES
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
7-2-4-5
HIGH SPIRITS is in sharp form and could take this
SECOND
1-2-7-6
RB RICH LYKE ME rates a slim edge in a very talented group

BRAZOS ANGEL was in tough in last; slim edge in wide open affair
SIXTH
2-4-1-6
SILVER CITY TRICK freaked in meet debut; could roll again
SEVENTH

CADDO FOX chased a nice one in debut and should be in the mix
The Astros have placed Lance McCullers on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his right finger, retroactive to July 20. The setback adds another layer of uncertainty to McCullers’ return as he continues working his way back into form.
Right-hander Nick Hernandez has been recalled and will take McCullers’ spot on the active roster.
McCullers has struggled as of late, allowing 18 runs in his four starts since returning from the IL (foot). Lance has a 6.90 ERA over 44.1 innings this season.
