Sam Houston Race Park selections for Tuesday, March 10

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 a first-place team that’s defied expectations, manager Joe Espada’s unconventional approach is proving to be the secret sauce behind the current lineup’s surprising success.

From innovative lineup shuffles to creative in-game adjustments, we break down Espada’s impact and question whether this new group of players should be given more long-term trust. As injuries continue to sideline key veterans, the Astros’ resilience has forced the rest of the American League to take notice.

Be sure to watch the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein explore why the Astros’ performance isn’t just a flash in the pan, but a signal that this team is headed for bigger things—even in the midst of adversity.
