Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on March 6, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.
Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, March 6, 2015
Saturday night I had two of four.
Meet totals: standard ticket, 18 plays, -$225; whale ticket, nine plays, -$302
Standard ticket: 50 cent play: 78/1459/136/18 = $24
Whale ticket: 50 cent play: none
Analysis:
Race 7: (7) Sir Jillian Z Tam and (8) Lightning Paige are both dropping out of the Open.
Race 8: This is a tough race. I think (5) Clementine Dream looks ready for a top effort, but I used all four of my contenders.
Race 9: This is a ten claimer but it is a very tough field. I used 1, 3, 6 but there are several others with a shot.
Race 10: (1) Money On My Mind needed last and should fire for the Burke barn. But I also used (8) Marion Mayflower, who drops down after being used leaving from post nine.
