Pandy’s Meadowlands $50,000 Guaranteed Pick-4 with 15% Takeout, Races 7-10, Saturday, January 17, by Bob Pandolfo

Last night I had 5 top winners and my Best Bet won but I wasn’t close in the Pick 4. Tonight’s sequence doesn’t look impossible.

Meet totals: standard ticket, five plays -$80.00, Whale ticket, two plays, -$29.00

Standard ticket: $0.50 cent play: 46/2345/46/46 = $16.00
Whale ticket: $0.50 cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: Capital Account is my top pick moving in from post 10 off a race he needed. Rockeyed Optimist is the hot horse looking for his 4th straight.

Race 8: Gold Rocks is my top pick, he had no shot in last, but I have to use all four of my contenders in this wide open race.

Race 9: Samandar gets a much better spot after showing improved late speed. Gambler’s Tale drops and gets a better post.

Race 10: Here Comes Swifty had a tough parked-out trip in last and now drops. Leg Up gets a key driver change to Gingras and also drops.
