Sam Houston Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
WHO WANTS TOO FANCY (3) last appeared when he finished third over 302m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) on November 6. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. PICK N ROLL (9) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing sixth over 320m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) six months ago. Now under the care of new trainer Ramiro Barajas Villarreal. Expect him to play a major role. HARDLY SHINING (2) missed the frame when resuming last start over 320m at this track (Dirt) but wasn't all that far from the winner. Among the leading chances. ALL LIGHTS OUT (4) returned from a spell two months ago when he was beaten 3.5 lengths into eighth over 320m at Sunland Park. Fitter and sure to run well.
