Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Friday, April 19, 2019

Two of my Pick-4 horses were scratched Saturday night which cut the loss to $27. Meet record, 29 Pick-4s, one winner at $107.50, minus $451.

Tonight’s tickets:

50-cent play: 56/3/136/256 = $9

Analysis:

Race 8: (6) For A Dreamer gets Tetrick for a top trotting barn and the qualifiers were good. (5) D W’s Revenge is second for Burke. We go with the two top barns here.

Race 9: (3) Kimberlee qualified sharp for Svanstedt and his barn is good off layoffs.

Race 10: This race is pretty wide open, I’ll use three, 1, 3, 6.

Race 11: This is another competitive race. (2) Explosive Ridge gets Tetrick off an improved effort. (5) Roundtown Rocker was used hard leaving in last, has a good shot here. (6) Don Dream returns for a trainer who usually has them ready.
