PLAYING THE PONIES
Here are my selections for Tuesday 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
1-9-7-6
BELLA ALICITA comes off a brief layoff and should be very tough
SECOND
6-10-5-1
TAKE THE OVER could offer some value in second start at this condition
THIRD
5-6-10-8
KING BLING should improve in start No. 2
FOURTH
3-10-8-4
SHIRL'S READY was flat in last but should bounce back here
FIFTH
1-3-10-6
ALOO GHOST should improve off the claim and be in the mix
SIXTH
3-8-1-7
STREET DAZZLE will be tough if race moves to the main track
SEVENTH
11-13-2-5
WONDERS OF HISLOVE was in the mix in stakes company
EIGHTH
8-6-3-9
PRANCINGMISTISSY usually earns a piece and should again here
NINTH
5-8-7-4
EXCALIBUR RIDGE has been OK in two starts this meet; a little improvement might do it
TENTH
3-9-8-10
KING PTOLEMY is always in the hunt here and maybe today is the day
With reports now flooding in about the possibility of the Astros trading Kyle Tucker and/or Framber Valdez this offseason, we have to consider this a real possibility.
With that in mind, what should the Astros expect in return? And what would these trades mean for the Astros' chances to compete in 2025 and beyond?
