Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on April 14, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.
Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Saturday, April 14, 2018
After hitting for a profit of $337.85 last Saturday, I hit again last night, this time for $74.30 on the 50-cent payoff, but it cost me $30.00, so the profit was $44.30. Even though it was a small payoff, it’s nice to hit two in a row. Meet Totals, 3 for 24, plus $230.30.
Standard Ticket: $1.00: 36/6/2/3 = $2.00
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: 36/6/27/123 = $6.00
Analysis:
Race 7: (3) Maajaackkobe and (6) Calvin B are the two obvious ones here.
Race 8: (6) Talent Soup was used hard in last and now faces weaker, has a class edge.
Race 9: (2) Lawrencetown Beach looked like he was going to win last week when he broke. I’ll single him on one ticket, and throw in (7) Photobombr Hanover on my other ticket.
Race 10: (3) Capozzo may be some value here as he ships in from Yonkers, and this is my Best Bet. He raced against a tougher field the last time he was at the Meadowlands. But on my second ticket, I used two other horses. Total cost of the two tickets is $8.00.
