Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Late Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on May 3, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Friday, May 3, 2019

I had a big night last Saturday with seven winners on top including $15.80 and $13.80 winners but missed the Pick-4. Minus $24 Saturday night, I had two of the four. Meet record, 33 Pick-4s, 1 winner at $107.50, minus $508.

Tonight’s tickets: 50-cent play: 3589/17/24/137,10 = $32

Analysis:

Race 8: This is a tough race so I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 3, 5, 8, 9.

Race 9: (1) Ideal Candidate takes a key drop and gets a top driver back and may be a good single here but I’m also using (7) Ring Warrior, who is coming around and is at the right level now.

Race 10: (2) Democracy N is my top pick off a key drop. I’m also using (4) Perseverant, who is probably going to be the favorite after a good try on the front end last week.

Race 11: This trot race is wide open. I’m trying all four of my listed contenders, 1, 3, 7, 10.
