Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on May 20, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Saturday, May 20, 2017

I hit it last night but it only paid $8.15, so I lost a few bucks. I had the Pick-4 cold, all four winners as my top picks, as I had nine top winners in the 11 races. My meet results so far, six for 52, 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 $91.40. Whale tickets, 0 for 3, minus $100.00.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 28/456/9/14 = $6.00
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (2) Lyons Snyder broke in last two but last week he did pace fast through the middle half. (8) Rockeyed Optimist steps up but has the ability if he’s back in top form.

Race 8: This is a very competitive claiming race. I’m using three, (4) UF Fast Feelin, (5) To Beach His Own, (6) Twincreeks Jack.

Race 9: (9) Millenium Wheel takes a key drop and is my Best Bet tonight.

Race 10: (1) Dayson raced poorly in last but he adds Lasix for this third start off the layoff for top barn. (4) Taco Tuesday ships in from Yonkers, where he won the Open, and he has won over this track
