Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on July 19, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, July 19, 2013

Last week’s results: I’ve hit the Pick-4 three times this meet playing almost all small tickets. My $16 ticket returned $96.80. Earlier in the meet my $18 ticket returned $163.60 and I also hit it for $206.60 on a $16 ticket. Last Friday I played a $12 ticket. My single in the seventh missed which was unfortunate because I had the other three winners. Saturday I also played a $12 ticket and wasn’t close.

$1 play: 5/2369/7/3 = $4.00

Analysis:

Race 7: (5) Abrokenart Hanover keeps racing gamely without winning. She gets a better post here and I’ll single her.

Race 8: This is a tough trot so I’m using all four of my contenders, 2, 3, 6, 9.

Race 9: (7) JK Letitgo is my best bet tonight. She has been facing faster horses and has raced well. Single.

Race 10: (3) Walltocousins needed last, drops, gets a key driver change to Pierce. Single.
