Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on June 28, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, June 28, 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 an $8 ticket and was not close. Saturday I played a $108 ticket because I felt it was a good time to take a shot. This was my first big ticket of the meet but I only had two of the four.

$2 play: 4/6/69/5 = $4

Analysis:

Race 7: (4) JK Letitgo takes a key drop and I’m going to single.

Race 8: (6) Ellen’s Isle hasn’t been in this soft in a while. The race is wide open but I’m going to try another single.

Race 9: (6) Major Look and (9) Abrokenart Hanover are my two here but realistically it would take four or five to have this race covered.

Race 10: (5) Helios drops and is a consistent trotter who should be tough here.
