Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Early Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on July 14, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.
Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Saturday, July 14, 2012
I’ve hit four Pick 4’s so far this meet, the highest paying $238 for $1.00 and I’m down $376.00 on the meet. Last night my single won and paid $6.00 but I only had two out of four.
For the championship meet I’m going to try more realistic, and more creative, tickets to see how that works out but be forewarned that even with much more of a spread, it’s still not easy to hit a Pick 4 at this track.
$1 play: 46/3679/3469/5 = $32.00
Analysis:
6th Race: Solid Invitational pace starts the Pick 4 off. I’m using (4) GOLDEN RECEIVER, who loves this track, and double-millionaire (6) WE WILL SEE. Meirs Hanover is the one to worry about.
7th Race: Wide open pace. I’m using all four of my contenders. My top pick, (6) SOCIAL NETWORK, went off at 21-1 against a similar field last week.
8th Race: (3) SOUTHWESTERN DREAM is the obvious favorite and has plenty of class but he doesn’t seem to have the same desire to win that he used to so I’m also using (4) LETTHEROCKBEGIN, (6) BLUE CLAW, and (9) WINDFALL BLUE CHIP.
9th Race: (5) POSSESS THE WILL raced well in return and should be ready for a big effort here. I’m taking a shot against Googoo Gaagaa.
