Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Feb. 23, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.
Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Friday, Feb. 23, 2018
After a scratch, my Pick-4 was a $12.00 play Friday night. I had a $29.80 top winner in the sequence but only had two of the four. Meet Totals, 1 for 10, plus $7.15.
Standard Ticket: $1.00: 7/16/38/5 = $4.00
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none
Analysis:
Race 8: (7) Inittowinafortune has always liked this track and has a class edge off the drop.
Race 9: (1) Wildflower moves inside here and has a shot. My top pick is (6) My Cherry Pie, who finished gamely to just miss against better.
Race 10: (3) Quality Bud had post 9 against better. (8) Justified is in good form.
Race 11: (5) Mistress Valentine takes a sharp drop in class here.
