Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $75,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on July 2, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Saturday, July 2, 2011

After 20 Pick-4s at the Meadowlands I’m down $408 and haven’t hit a Pick-4; my average ticket is less than $21. Last night I had seven winners on top, including three in the Pick-4 sequence, but missed the $73 winner of the first leg. Tonight I’m using three singles and playing two $5 tickets.

$5 play: 16/1/6/2 = $10

Analysis:

Race 6: (1) On The Radar ships in sharp for Burke and (6) Sam Hill comes off a game closing effort.

Race 7: (1) Bettor Again was blocked in last, gets Gingras tonight and faces weaker; two back was an impressive effort.

Race 8: (6) Arch Madness is on a roll this year.

Race 9: (2) Mr Tommy Fra was going to be my pick before I realized that there was a barn change.
