Here are my selections for Wednesday afternoon 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). We will be doing The Blitz from 4-7 at the track so please drop by.

FIRST
6-1-2-4
KADA is in sharp form but should be challenged by a talented entry.


SECOND
1-3-8-7
IMPRESSIVE REWARD has been close in Oklahoma and should break through


THIRD
9-7-2-5
ICED OUT should be in a good spot to clear this condition


FOURTH
8-1-7-2
RAILROAD ROSIE has won two in a row and should be in the mix


FIFTH
6-1-5-4
BANKROLL BEN is in a good spot and should offer some value

SIXTH
2-8-10-1
WAR ARGYLE has been knocking on the door and should break through here


SEVENTH

7-6-3-10

DECLARE WAR has a good record over this surface and is in good form


EIGHTH

GRADE ONE struggled in last but prior efforts were strong


NINTH
