Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Late Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Feb. 23, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019

I missed the Pick-4 last night, minus $13.50, but I had a good night on my regular picks, which are posted on this website. I had six winners on top. I made my money in the last two races with a $12.20 winner and cold $63.80 exacta and cold $412.40 trifecta in the 12th, and in the 13th race, I had the another $12.20 winner on top and I hit the cold $75.80 Late Double. Winter Meet record, 15 Pick-4s, zero winners, minus $304.50

Tonight’s tickets: 50-cent play: 1269/4/58/37 = $8

Analysis:

Race 8: This is probably the toughest race of the sequence, so I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 1, 2, 6, 9.

Race 9: (4) Ever Again set a pressured pace in last and held well until deep stretch. I’ll single him.

Race 10: (5) Kenrick N got into a speed duel with the aforementioned Ever Again in last; may be coming around. (8) Mr Carrotts drops and may be live at a price.

Race 11: (3) Sharp Action Money raced gamely first over in last. (7) Annihilation ships back in and form is solid.
