Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on July 28, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, July 28, 2017

I dropped $6.00 Saturday, even though I had an $11.40 single in the first leg and I had all of the winners listed in my top three, just didn’t go deep enough. My meet results so far, 6 for 71, winners paid $394.55 for 50-cents, $41.65 for 50-cents, $85 for $1, $103.60 for 50-cents, $60.10 for 50-cents, $8.15 for 50-cents, minus $291.40. Whale tickets, 0 for 3, minus $100.

Standard Tickets: 50-cent tickets: 48/7/2467/23 = $8; 8/7/2467/2 = $2
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: 48/47/2467/23 = $16

Analysis:

Race 7: (8) Nike Franco N is going to be tough to beat here, but I’m going to use (4) Call Me Queen Be as well since she can get early position here. I’m going to play a few tickets tonight.

Race 8: (7) Met’s Hall is a promising colt. I’ll single this one.

Race 9: I think this is a wide open elimination. I decided to use all four of my listed contenders, 2, 4, 6, 7.

Race 10: (2) Manchego has been impressive, (3) Vivacious Allie has promise.
