Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on June 3, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 6-9, Friday, June 3, 2011

After seven nights at the Meadowlands I’m down $194 and haven’t hit a Pick-4. In reality, a professional player would probably be spending between $100 and $200 a night on each Pick-4 so being down $194 after seven plays is not a lot. I’m sticking to small tickets. I’m going two across tonight for $16 play.

$1 play: 17/47/49/29 = $16

Analysis:

Race 6: (1) On The Glass and (7) Delightful Diva are obvious here.

Race 7: (4) Shoeless White Sox drops to a level where he will be tough and gets Sears. (7) Pembroke Heat Wave also drops and Gingras excels with trotters.

Race 8: This is a tough race but I don’t want to play a big ticket so I’m using two, my top pick (9) Sunland Dakota steps up sharp and is a classy veteran and (4) Take My Picture probably needed last.

Race 9: (9) Feeling You takes a key drop and should be tough here and (2) McFlirty also drops.
