Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Saturday, April 1, 2017

Last night my single won and I hit the Pick-4 for $394.55 for a $6.00 bet on a 50-cent ticket. My meet results so far, 4 for 40, winners paid $394.55 for 50-cents, $41.65 for 50-cents, $85.00 for $1.00, $103.60 for 50-cents, plus $21.30. Whale tickets, 0 for 2, minus $50.00

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 12345/7/18/578 = $15.00
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: This is the toughest race of the sequence, so I went five deep: (1) That’s My Opinion, (2) Rodeo Romeo, (3) Preparty, (4) Somesizesomestyle and (5) Special T Rocks.

Race 8: (7) Art History looks tough off the drop in class.

Race 9: (1) Jds Brent N Sheree is sharp and moves inside from post 10 to post one, and (10) Betting Exchange has backclass and returns off a solid qualifier.

Race 10: I’m using the three most obvious contenders here, (5) Dateline Hanover, (7) Unix Hanover and (8) Legion Of Boom.
