Pandy’s Picks: Jan. 4 M

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

Two for four in the late Pick-4 last night, minus $6.00 after scratches. I did very well in the fall meet that just ended, 28 Pick-4’s, four winning tickets, plus $908.90. Winter meet record: two pick fours, zero won, two lost, minus $18.00.

Tonight’s tickets:
50-cent play: 18/149/136/258 = $27
50-cent play: 8/19/13/2 = $2

Analysis:
Race 8: (8) Wheels On Fire looks tough here and is my Best Bet tonight, but on one ticket I also included (1) Closing Statement, who gets Dunn in the bike and drops off a race he needed.

Race 9: (1) Legion Of Boom and (9) Boys Turn are the two obvious ones, but I think that (4) Dragon Strikes may have a shot as he ships in for a live barn.

Race 10: (1) Rootin Tootin is my upset pick here, adding Lasix off a trip that wasn’t that smooth. The horse to beat is (3) Whittaker N and I also included (6) All It Takes, who is in good form.

Race 11: (2) Bell I No could be tough to beat here as he drops off a tough parked-out trip. (5) Solo Story also takes a key drop and (8) Effronte A makes first U.S. start for a trainer who has done well in the past with down under shippers first time out.
