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).
FIRST
6-1-4-5
TWO STEPPING DISCO is worth a flyer in a struggling group
SECOND
1-2-6-4
BRIGHTEST was close in stakes company in last
THIRD
6-1-4-5
TROY OUNCE'S last race can be tossed; priors are worth a look
FOURTH
2-1-7-6
SHANGHAI WOMAN struggled in last but can be competitive with best effort
FIFTH
5-10-1-2
D'ROCKETMAN needed last; in the mix if the race stays on turf
SIXTH
6-1-5-3
PASTOR VAN stretches back out and should fare better at this distance
SEVENTH
1-3-5-4
Entry looks tough here; price will be short but either horse could win this
EIGHTH
1-4-8-6
MR TICKLE had his win streak snapped in last; could start a new one
NINTH
8-5-3-4
DECORATED FOR GOLD is consistent for a barn that is running well here
TENTH
9-10-2-6
CAT'S HONOR was in good form in Oklahoma; should be in the mix if ready off break
