Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 (Races 7-10) at Meadowlands Racetrack on May 16, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Last night I played a $20.00 ticket and had 3 out of 4.

Winter Meet totals: standard ticket, 30 plays -$153.70, whale ticket, 10 plays, -$422.00

Championship Meet totals: standard ticket, 4 plays – $55.00, whale ticket, 2 plays, one winning ticket for $53.00 – even.

Standard ticket: $0.50 cent play: 38/248/47/19 = $12.00
Whale ticket: $0.50 cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (3) Market Share may be ready, but I’m also using (8) Bee A Magician.

Race 8: The two most obvious horses are (4) Rock Star and (8) Mambo Italiano, but I also used Bullet Bob, who ships into a nice spot here.

Race 9: My gut feeling is that (7) Hurrikane Ali has more to give, but I also used (4) Revenge Shark.

Race 10: My Best Bet is (9) Martini Hanover but I have to include dropdown (1) Smart Rokker.
