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).

FIRST
3-1-4-6
FIFTEEN GOLDEN will be a short price but looks tough here


SECOND
6-4-1-7
BIG BAD ZIN has had a lot of chances but should be well spotted here


THIRD
1-6-5-7
KYRA was a big winner in debut and should be in the mix again


FOURTH
4-7-8-6
TIZ A MELODY faced a tough crew in last and should be in the mix


FIFTH
2-5-3-8
TOO MUCH IRISH is bred to run early and trainer sends them ready


SIXTH
7-1-5-6
ALLITERATIVE has been on some tough circuits and should thrive here


SEVENTH
3-4-1-6
CAT'S ETERNAL FLAME has some sharp efforts at Delta and should be in the mix


EIGHTH
1-9-10-2
FINDING VALUE should be a decent price and fits better on the lawn

What an incredible year it was for the Houston Texans. It's hard to believe how much they accomplished in such a short period of time. They went into the draft not knowing who their quarterback would be in 2023, and finished the season winning the division and then beating the Browns in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.

What a turnaround it was for the franchise. Here's your chance to relive all the magic and special moments in this mini-movie the Texans put together.

Enjoy, and go Texans!
