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

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

The Houston Astros sent a message loud and clear with one of their most emphatic wins of the season, an 18-1 demolition of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and they did it without Yordan Alvarez or Jeremy Peña in the lineup.
Jose Altuve silenced the Dodger Stadium boos with a pair of home runs and even stayed after the game to sign autographs for young fans. Lance McCullers Jr. delivered six strong innings in a bounce-back outing, and the offense erupted behind big nights from Zach Short, Cam Smith, Yainer Díaz, and Christian Walker.
With key contributions across the board, this was a total team win, one that highlights the depth, momentum, and legitimacy of this Astros squad as the second half approaches. Manager Joe Espada is pressing all the right buttons, and with All-Star nods for Josh Hader, Hunter Brown, and Peña, Houston looks like a team no one wants to face right now.
