PLAYING THE PONIES

Sam Houston Race Park selections for Saturday, May 25

Here are my selections for Saturday. 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). And that's a wrap for the 2019 racing season at SHRP. Hope you enjoyed it!

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport recently reported that the Houston Texans had a "quiet" top 30 visit with Kentucky QB Will Levis that many were unaware of.

Texans GM Nick Caserio and head coach DeMeco Ryans dealt with some criticism last week for not attending CJ Stroud and Bryce Young's pro days.

Should we read anything into this? Many believe the Texans could have concerns about drafting CJ Stroud based on his agent that also represents Deshaun Watson. So are the Texans actually considering Will Levis at No. 2 if Bryce Young is off the board?

Could Nick Caserio make the same mistake of drafting based off of traits instead of tape study? We know what happened last year when he selected Derek Stingley over now All-Pro Jets corner Sauce Gardner.

Finally, if the Texans pass on Stroud for Levis, how much would it haunt the Texans having Stroud likely end up with the Colts and facing the Texans for the next decade? A scary proposition for sure.

Be sure to check out the video above as the guys cover all the angles!
