Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, March 10, 2017

Last night I had three of four again. I probably should have hit it, I knew the seventh race was a scramble, the other races looked easy. I used five horses in the seventh. After a scratch, there were only eight horses in the race and I should have used all eight. The horse that won paid $52 and the Pick-4 paid $197 for 50 cents.

My meet results so far, 3 for 34, winners paid $41.65 for 50-cents, $85 for $1, and $103.60 for 50-cents, minus $257.25. Whale tickets, 0 for 1, minus $20.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 378/6/16/16 = $6
Whale Ticket:50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: This may be the toughest race of the four. I’m using three horses, 3, 7, 8.

Race 8: I’m going to single the likely favorite (6) Classical Annie, who looks fastest here.

Race 9: You have to use the (1) entry here and I’m also using my top pick, (6) Ava N Ella, who ships back in from Yonkers.

Race 10: (6) Can Do is the one to beat, but I think that (1) Windsong Illusion has an upset chance off the drop.
