PLAYING THE PONIES
Sam Houston Race Park selections for Wednesday, March 13
Here are my selections for Wednesday. 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). I like the races on the second half of the card best of all, starting with race five.
FIRST
1-2-7-4
KITCHEN BOSS/JOYABLE
Entry looks double tough but might get a price behind them with the 2 horse
SECOND
7-6-4-3
GRACEFUL RULES should be tough in second start with new barn
THIRD
1-7-3-2
SNOOSE SASA wheels right back after chasing a horse in sharp form
FOURTH
1-5-9-10
SAMICEAN is always a threat on this turf course
FIFTH
5-10-3-2
XIROMA
Was a beaten favorite on a tough circuit in last and should be in the mix here
SIXTH
1-4-3-5
WILD WILL beat a tough crew at Oaklawn in last and could repeat
SEVENTH
9-5-2-1
IRREPLACEABLE did not show much in debut but bred to be very good
EIGHTH
2-5-4-1
EYE ON HARPER seems to be well spotted here and should be in the mix
NINTH
4-7-1-3
ARCH HALO is a first-time starter with OK works and good turf breeding
