Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on March 18, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, March 18, 2016

I had three of four Saturday night. Meet record, standard ticket: 15 plays, two wins for $166.90, total for meet, -$154. Whale ticket: one play, -$80.

Standard ticket: 50-cent play: 24/2358/24/1 = $8
Whale ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (2) Can Do takes a key drop. My top pick, (4) Magenta Man, has been very sharp.

Race 8: This is a wide open pace so I’m going to use all four of my contenders, 2, 3, 5, 8.

Race 9: (2) Born To Fight is the obvious choice here as he drops in class, but I’m also using (4) Bjanthony, who is in good form.

Race 10: (1) Madman Hall gets a top catch driver while dropping to the basement and is my Best Bet tonight.
