Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Feb. 21, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013

$1 play: 5/34/3457/17 = $16

Analysis:

Race 7: (5) Love You Bye got a bit anxious in the hole and broke in first start for Burke but showed good speed to catch the field before weakening. I’ll single her.

Race 8: (3) Majorly Bad had a tough parked-out trip in last. (4) Thanks For Stoppin moves inside from post 10 and drops and is the one to beat.

Race 9: This is a tough trot race. I’m going to use all four of my contenders and keep my fingers crossed.

Race 10: You could make a good case for using (1) Image Of Dawn as a single here, but I’ll include (7) Market Force, who drops back in for 10 grand and should improve in third start off the bench.
