Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $40,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Feb. 2, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Thursday, Feb. 2, 2017

Last Saturday, minus $21. My meet results so far, 0 for 10, minus $318.50. I’m changing the way I structure these tickets this winter. So far it hasn’t worked any better than the other style, but I think it makes sense.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 13467810/145678/4/3 = $21
Whale Ticket: none

Analysis:

Race 6: This is a wide open race. I’m using seven horses, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10.

Race 7: This is another very wide open race. I’m using six horses, 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Race 8: (4) Never Ever Clever finished strongly from far back in last. Driver Brett Miller has been very reliable with favorites. I’ll single this trotting mare.

Race 9: (3) Action Brad has been facing faster horses. I’ll single this one.
