Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on August 19, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Friday, August 19, 2011

I lost $8 Saturday night, profit stands at $70.40 for the meet. I’ll show a profit for the meet regardless of how I do the next two nights. Tonight’s sequence looks difficult.

$1 play: 34/45/45/17 = $16

Analysis:

Race 6: (4) Mcflirty is tough as nails and I wouldn’t think of leaving her out. (3) Swinging Beauty has been racing well in some fast races.

Race 7: (5) Fool’s Revenue makes third start off the layoff and drops, may be some value in a wide open trot. (4) Tac’s Delight may have needed last and finished with some trot.

Race 8: (5) Four Starz Molly upset similar here three back, never got involved from a tough spot in last at Pocono. (4) Cams Monet raced gamely here two back then faltered at Chester.

Race 9: (7) Rose Run Fastball is a 10-year-old that has struggled the past two seasons but last week he improved sharply in his third start of the year and he does have some back class. (1) Folk Tail raced okay in last and he may have needed the race.
