Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on April 7, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, April 7, 2017

My Pick-4 was not close on Saturday, minus $15. My meet results so far, 4 for 41, winners paid $394.55 for 50-cents, $41.65 for 50-cents, $85 for $1, and $103.60 for 50-cents, plus $6.30. Whale tickets, 0 for 2, minus $50.

Standard Ticket: $1 play: 8/14/4/4 = $2
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: 58/124/24/all = $60

Analysis:

Race 7: You could single (8) Melady’s Monet here, which I did on one ticket, but I’m also using (5) Opulent Yankee on a Whale Ticket.

Race 8: I’m trying three here, 1, 2, 4. One the standard ticket I only used the one and four.

Race 9: I’m using three of my listed contenders, 2 and 4 on the Whale Ticket, but my Best Bet is (4) She’s Heavenly.

Race 10: This is a tough race. I think you could use either the 4 or 9, or both, or spread.
