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

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Saturday, Jan. 7, 2017

Big longshots, including a $104 bomb, made the Pick-4 very hard to hit last night, but apparently three people hit it for $30,000 each. Meet results, 0 for 1, -$27

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 58/49/246/3 = $6
Whale Ticket: none

Analysis:

Race 7: One of my two Best Bets are in this race, (8) Winter Blues, but I’m also using (5) Tink And Tiger. It’s a wide open race.

Race 8: Another tough race. I’m going to use my top two, (9) Lawgiver Hanover and (4) Sassy Hanover.

Race 9: I think the 2, 4, 6 are the prime contenders here.

Race 10: (3) Jetski Louie is sharp and gets a significant driver change; one of my two Best Bets, and a single here.
