Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on July 21, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 8-11, Saturday, July 21, 2018

The Pick-4 paid $57.80 last night, and I hit it. Meet totals, 7 for 52, plus $164.25. Note, if one of my Pick-4 picks is scratched prior to the start of the Pick-4 betting, the next ranked horse in my regular Meadowlands selections that are on the USTA website becomes the replacement pick.

Tonight’s tickets:
50-cent play: 23/2/345,10/2569 = $16
50-cent play: 3/23/345/259 = $9

Analysis:

Race 8: (3) Hey Blondie looks ready to win, but I’m also using (2) Top Expectations, who comes out of a very fast race.

Race 9: (2) Ever Again is my Best Bet off the barn change. I used (3) Messi N on another ticket.

Race 10: This race is wide open, I’ll use all four of my listed contenders, 3, 4, 5, 10.

Race 11: (9) Major War has a chance to wire these but I can’t trust him, so I’m including my other three contenders, 2, 5, 6.
