It's a fun night at Sam Houston tonight, with camel and ostrich races tonight, a pair of Arabian Stakes and some good money to be made, especially in the sixth, eighth and 10th races.
And just for grins, we give you our Camel race selections: Chita, Pepper, Anson, Ken
How to use the picks: We give you four horses. The numbers correspond to the program number or betting number. This isn't necessarily the order we think they will finish, but more the four horses we believe are the most likely contenders.
If you have read Acing Racing, we advocate trifecta, pick three and pick four wagering (buy the book if you want the strategies). If you are new to the game, try some simple exacta boxes. Take a horse of your own with two of mine and play a three-horse box ($6 on a $1 wager). Make sure you have at least one horse of 8-1 or higher in the bet.
More advanced players should use these selections as supplements to your own handicapping.
