Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on April 24, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, April 24, 2015

Saturday night I played a $27 whale ticket and had three out of four, again. Tonight I’m going to try the all button in the ninth race.

Meet totals: standard ticket, 29 plays, -$358; whale ticket, 10 plays, -$422

Standard ticket: 50 cent play: none
Whale ticket: 50 cent play: 568/5/all/124 = $45

Analysis:

Race 7: I used three here, (8) Pan Luis Obispo and (5) Beautiful Lady were both on my horses to watch list. (6) That Woman Hanover gets a key driver change and should be ready for best in third start off a layoff.

Race 8: (5) Madewell Hanover is my best bet off the key driver change to Tim Tetrick.

Race 9: (10) KZ Beach Girl is my top pick but I went “all” in this wide open race.

Race 10: (1) Lauderdale and (2) Tiger’s Too Good are the obvious horses here but I also used (4) Way Outta Here, who has a shot at a price if he can stay trotting this time.
