Here are my selections for Wednesday 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).

7-2-5-6
QUINN ELLA drops back in for a tag and fits well here

7-1-3-2
WILD AND GOLDEN drops in class and ran well at this level two back
