Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Feb. 26, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015

Friday night I tried two tickets worth a total of $18 after scratches, and I had two out of four.

Meet totals: standard ticket, 17 plays, -$208; Whale ticket, eight plays, -$210.50

Standard ticket: 50 cent play: 8/1567/2456/7 = $8
Whale ticket: 50 cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 6: I thought the card looked wide open tonight. In this race, (8) Ace Of Pace may be the best horse.

Race 7: This is a very tough race. I used all four of my contenders, 1, 5, 6, 7.

Race 8: Once again I used all four of my contenders, 2, 4, 5, 6.

Race 9: (7) Eight Ten Eom is my Best Bet tonight. He had a tough trip in last and faces weaker here with Lasix back on.
