Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, Dec. 16, 2016

I had two of four last Saturday, minus $9. Meet results: Standard tickets, 2 for 20, -$57.95, two winners, one for $81.95, and another for $165.10.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent cent play: 478/1/47810/3 = $6.00
Whale Ticket: none

Analysis:

Race 7: I’m going to use three in this wide open race, 4, 7, 8.

Race 8: (1) Elwell steps up sharp and I’m going to try a single here.

Race 9: This is a very tough race. I’ll try my top four listed contenders, 3, 7, 8, 10.

Race 10: (3) Speed Again looks tough to beat here and is a single for me.
