Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Friday, Jan. 14, 2012
I didn’t hit last night, minus $16.00, which brings the total to minus $64.00 for the first four nights. Very good card tonight, but not easy.
15% Takeout Pick 4 Races 6 through 9
$1 play: 248/5/59/17 = $12.00
Analysis:
6th Race: This is a wide open race without a strong favorite. I’m using three horses, BIG BAY POINT, VINTAGE MASTER and the probable favorite, FOREIGN OFFICER.
7th Race: SPLENDID KISSER is classy and fast and overcame post 10 in his first start since August and has the class to handle the move up the ladder. He was actually an easy winner last week and I’ll single him here.
8th Race: CODE WORD draws post 9 but drop for hot connections. NOBLE FALCON also drops and the 41 time winner handles this track very well.
9th Race: Wide open race. The Burke entry of INTRIGUED ROYALLY and ARSENAL will probably be favored but it’s no lock. I’ll also use my top pick VOICE OF TRUTH, a 4 year old son of Real Desire who is dangerous if he’s ready for best.
