Meadowland­s $50,000 Guaranteed Pick 4 Analysis

- By Derick Giwner

Race 8 - $469,300 Governor’s Cup

(6) MAC’S POWER closed a ton to just miss in the eliminatio­n. Son of Somebeachs­omewhere is getting better and better each week and has the versatilit­y to race from on or off the pace. (2) CAPTAIN CRUNCH will win this race if he can work out a decent trip that isn’t on the lead; inside post helps. (5) BLOOD MONEY is likely to be on the front here and that makes him the one to beat; very capable.

Race 9 - $350,000 TVG Open Trot

(8) WARRAWEE ROO brings a solid effort to the track every week but just hasn’t been in the best spots from outside posts on smaller tracks. It is likely he’ll need to pass the entire field, but you’ll be rewarded with a healthy price. (3) TACTICAL LANDING has been even better with Brian Sears taking over the lines. The talent is there, though he won’t be able to boss around this group. (6) SIX PACK should be on the engine here and you can’t deny that he is the fastest horse in the race; mucho respect.

Race 10 - $435,900 Valley Victory

(7) SEVEN HILLS rebounded nicely from the break with a strong eliminatio­n effort. With that flat line on his card, driver Corey Callahan can be more aggressive now. (8) FORBIDDEN TRADE raced great considerin­g he was chasing a slow pace and had missed five weeks of action; very dangerous.

Race 11 – Non-winners of $11,500

This could be the most wide-open race on the card and of course it lands in the final leg of the Pick 4. (2) WARMINSTER A finished willingly with no shot in his lone stateside qualifier. Six-year-old had a good record overseas and seems to fit with this class. (1) MCTHRILLER continues to race well week after week. Inside draw is a plus this week. (9) BILLS FELLA might’ve been the favorite from a better post. Still, he’s capable of sweeping this field with the right setup. (5) BRUCE’S MAGIC is technicall­y getting a bit of class relief.
