I had three of the four winners right on top last Saturday but I missed the eighth race, minus $6. Meet record on Pick-4s, Standard ticket: 45 plays, six wins for $489.75 total. Bottom line for meet, -$20.70. Whale ticket: six plays,-$218.

Standard ticket: 50-cent play: 1345/6/12356/9 = $10
Whale ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: I’m going to try four and five and two singles tonight. The seventh race is tough, a good group of trotters, so I’ll use all four of my listed contenders, 1, 3, 4, 5.

Race 8: (6) Request For Parole is my Best Bet. She is dropping down after being used hard. Single.

Race 9: This is a difficult race. I’m using five horses in this trot, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6.

Race 10: (9) Stacia Hanover finished in :26.1 last week, an improved effort, and now gets a drop in class. Single.
