Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the $50,000 Pick-4 at Meadowlands Racetrack on May 26, part of the U.S. Trotting Association Strategic Wagering Program.

Meadowlands Pick-4, Races 7-10, Saturday, May 26, 2018

I had three of four last night, minus $12. Meet totals, 6 for 36, plus $393.45.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 36/1/57/245,10 = $8
Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: Some may single (3) KJ’s Justine here, and I wouldn’t argue with that, but I’m also using (6) Ideal Talker because this is the final and McCarthy gets in the bike, and he is a money driver.

Race 8: (1) Santiago Style finishes well and can also stay close from this post. I’ll single him.

Race 9: (5) Express Stride N is my Best Bet and looks tough here, but (7) Hillbilly Hanover, who is actually my third ranked horse, could be a sneaky longshot play because he likes this track, so I’ll use him.

Race 10: This is pretty wide open, unless (2) Kings Barns comes up big again. I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 2, 4, 5, 10.
