Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Friday, May 19, 2017

I hit it for $60.10 last Saturday. My meet results so far, 5 for 51, winners paid $394.55 for 50-cents, $41.65 for 50-cents, $85.00 for $1, $103.60 for 50-cents, $60.10 for 50-cents, minus $87.60. Whale tickets, 0 for 3, minus $100.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 157/2467/24/4 = $12
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (1A) Gural Hanover, (5) Appomattox, and (7) Fashion Creditor drop to winning levels.

Race 8: This is a very competitive New Jersey Sire stakes race. I’m using four — 2, 4, 6, 7.

Race 9: (2) Celebrity Ruth gets David Miller and looks ready to win. (4) Eastern Promise raced well in return and could also be sitting on a win.

Race 10: (4) Colorful Jasmine was a sharp winner in return and is a single for me.
