Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on June 22, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Friday, June 22, 2018

I had six winners on top last Saturday night but only two of four in the Pick-4, minus $12. Meet totals, six for 43, plus $262.45. 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.

$2 play: 14/78/28/7 = $16

Analysis:

Race 6: Instead of a 50-cent play I’m playing it for $2 tonight. (1) Fashion Creditor, 10-1 on the morning line, is my Best Bet tonight. But I’m also going to use (4) Lindy The Great, who takes a key drop while making his third start of the year.

Race 7: (7) Keystone Riptide was overmatched in last as was (8) Windsun Glory.

Race 8: (8) Dream Baby Dream came back to the races sharp for new barn. (2) Seviyorum seemed to need last, finished well.

Race 9: (7) Beyonces Rockn gets Zeron back in the bike and takes a key drop.
