Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, July 14, 2017

I played a $6 ticket Saturday night and I had three out of four again. My meet results so far, 6 for 67, 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 $234.40. Whale tickets, 0 for 3, minus $100.00.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent ticket: 56/267/39/1358 = $24
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (6) Inittowinafortune is sharp and proven over this track, but I’m also using sharp shipper (5) Lease Ness Monster.

Race 8: This group of 2-year-old fillies should be competitive. I’ll try three, 2, 6, 7.

Race 9: (3) Stakeout had a tough trip in last and held gamely, moves inside now. (9) Art Miami is a legitimate favorite despite post nine.

Race 10: The last leg is pretty wide open. I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders, 1, 3, 5, 8.
