Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Aug. 3, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Friday, Aug. 3, 2018

I had two of four last Saturday night. Meet totals, 7 for 55, plus $112.25. Note, if one of my Pick-4 picks is scratched prior to the start of the Pick-4 betting, the next ranked horse in my regular Meadowlands selections that are on the USTA website becomes the replacement pick.

Tonight’s tickets: 50-cent play: 4/all/47,10/3 = $15

Analysis:

Race 8: (4) Blood Line broke in his last two starts but came back with a very good qualifier for a top barn. He seems fastest here.

Race 9: This is a wide open race, so wide open that I’m using all 10.

Race 10: (4) Taco Tuesday is in good form. (7) Lauderdale has a good history over this track. My top pick is (10) Gold Medal Swan, who takes a key drop.

Race 11: (3) Lone Wolf Terror drops to the bottom off a pretty good effort.
