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).

The Houston Rockets are officially back in the playoffs! After years of struggles, this team has turned things around in a big way. Head coach Ime Udoka has been a game-changer, making key decisions—like shutting down a James Harden return—that have kept the team focused on winning.
Despite a tough schedule, the Rockets are dominating. But the big question is, can they keep up this level of play and make a deep run?
Don't miss the video below as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein break it all down.
