Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Saturday, May 23, 2015

Last night I went for an $8 ticket and had two out of four.

Winter meet totals: standard ticket, 30 plays, -$153.70; whale ticket, 10 plays, -$422
Championship meet totals: standard ticket, six plays, -$69; whale ticket, two plays, one winning ticket for $53, even

Standard ticket: 50 cent play: 68/34/13/347 = $12
Whale ticket: 50 cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (6) Art History has been tough to beat. (8) Speed Again is always a threat because he can leave well.

Race 8: (3) Escapado was shuffled in last and had late pace. (4) Hez A Buckeye goes for hot barn.

Race 9: (3) Grab Your Keys will be a heavy favorite off the drop but I’m also using (1) Twin B Hollister who ships in in good form.

Race 10: This is a tough race. (4) Hrubys N Luck gets a key driver change. (7) Prince Sharka moves into a claimer. (3) Crocadile Canyon gets a key driver change to Gingras.
