Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on Jan. 12, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012

I didn’t hit in two tries last week, minus $24. I’m going to use one single, I’m using two horses in the seventh and eighth, and I’m going six deep in the difficult ninth race.

$1 play: 3/37/13/1456810 = $24

Analysis:

6th Race: (3) Dontevenknowmyname raced well at a higher level in last and is a single for me here.

7th Race: (3) Shayna Baby and (7) Warden Woodie are the two obvious picks dropping in class.

8th Race: (3) Devine Filly finished well to beat (1) Rei Of Sunshine in last. There are others that you could make a case for here but I’m keeping the ticket small.

9th Race: This is an interesting and wide open race. I’m actually going six deep, using (1) Lukes Raoule, (4) High Pan Tolerance, (5) I Want Fabulous, my top pick, (8) Colin Power, (10) Ax Man, and I also threw in (6) Money Machine, who is getting a big driver change to Campbell.
