Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on July 8, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 9-12, Saturday, July 8, 2017

I played a $6.00 ticket last night and I actually had three of the four winners on top, including $7.80 and $15.40 winners, but I missed the 8th race because I only used my top two (my third choice won). My meet results so far, 6 for 66, winners paid $394.55 for 50-cents, $41.65 for 50-cents, $85.00 for $1.00, $103.60 for 50-cents, $60.10 for 50-cents, $8.15 for 50-cents, minus $228.40. Whale tickets, 0 for 3, minus $100.00.

Standard Ticket: $1.00 cent play: 359/67/4/4 = $6.00
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 9: This is a top quality trot race and pretty wide open. I’m going to use (3) Trolley, (5) Dayson, and (9) Marion Marauder.

Race 10: (8) Bushwacker is my top pick, but I’m also using (7) Wazikashi Hanover, who is very fast when right.

Race 11: (4) Dr J Hanover is going to be a single for me. He’s been tough this year and I love the way he qualified back after being given a short rest.

Race 12: (4) Mr Julian has been on a roll winning fourth straight impressively last week.
