Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on March 29, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, March 29, 2013

Last week’s results: On Saturday I was not close but on Friday I hit the Pick-4 and I had three of the winners on top. I had seven winners on top on Friday night. The Pick-4 paid $223 for $1. My ticket was $54. Saturday night I lost $32.

$1 play: 3/129/246/59 = $18

Analysis:

Race 7: I’m going to play a small ticket tonight using (3) In Focus as my single. He comes off a layoff but he has 24 career wins for over a million dollars and Takter should have him ready.

Race 8: Pretty good trot race here. (1) Fourtainbleau Volo is at the right level now. (2) Chocoholic comes off a good try against similar. (9) Dash For The Cash drops and has dangerous speed.

Race 9: I picked a longshot in this race, (4) Persuasive Hanover; she faced tougher the last time she was here in December. But I’m also using (2) Here Again. Also I’ll use (6) Sleazy Does It, who will be a heavy favorite here but I’m not sold on her.

Race 10: (5) Buzz Bomb and (9) Blomkvist are the two obvious picks here.
