Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on April 13, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.
Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Friday, April 6, 2012
I didn’t hit Saturday night, minus $12, which brings the total to minus $627 for the first 37 nights; I haven’t hit one so far this meet. I had a pretty good night overall, in fact in the Pick-4, in the 7th race the horses I used ran 1-2 for a $72.40 exacta and I had $12 and $13 winners in the sequence. Tonight I’m using two singles.
$2 play: 19/128/1/10 = $12
Analysis:
Race 6: (1) Ramona Disomma was wide from ninth and came home in :26.3 in a race she probably needed; classy mare moves inside here. (9) Ideal Newton also has class and comes off a solid effort where she had sharp pace on both ends.
Race 7: Wide open trot, I’m using (1) Double Up Hanover, (2) Bank President and (8) Bookem. There are a couple of others here I think could win.
Race 8: (1) Schalom G has been facing tougher horses at Yonkers and this is my best bet tonight so I’m going to single him.
Race 9: (10) Delightful Diva ships in from Yonkers and drops. She took her mark of 1:49.3 over this track and has a class edge.
