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
