This feature focuses on one of the hottest bets in the race: Pick 4. Pick 4’s goal is to pick the winner of four consecutive races. It was originally introduced by the NYRA in 2001 and is now offered twice a day at their track. The early series begins in Race 2 and the late series includes the last four races each day. The minimum bet is 50 coins.

As with all multi-race bets, the key to winning in Pick 4 is figuring out which races to “single” or use only one horse and which races to “spread” or use. many horses. The natural instinct is to stay single in races with a very clear favorite target, but that’s not always the best strategy.

The key to winning big in Pick 4 is to try and use horses that others don’t. Since the reward is calculated by dividing the total number of winning tickets, the more winners, the lower the reward. Singing a favorite horse can help you stay alive in the series, but if others are also using that horse, it won’t do much to increase the expected profit.

Therefore, the best way to make money in Option 4 is to find vulnerable lovers who can be excluded from your ticket. The more favorites you beat, the bigger the expected payout. If you really like a horse that is not a favorite, choosing one will give you an extra chance to go viral in races where your opinion isn’t as strong and likely to gain. long term effect.

I will focus on early Pick 4, which includes Races 2 to 5. Late Pick 4 has two possible favorites, Lady Rocket in Race 7 and Mo Donegal in Race 8, both Both are not comfortable against me. If both win, it reduces the reward, especially if the low-priced horses also win the other two legs. The first Pick 4 has more open races and is therefore a more engaging series.

Race 2 is a New York-bred special female weight race for 2-year-olds at 1/16 mile on grass. I’ll be making a match against the morning’s favorites, No 3 Robyn and Eli, whose first stretch is about two innings and will almost certainly be beaten in a wide field. I will use seven horses in this race. #1 Sterling Mistress is a first-time starter who is a half-sister to Sport Model, a multi-stakes winner on the pitch. #2 I’ll Go All In ended impressively in her solitary start. #4 Autumn Glory is the first start for Christophe Clement, who gets 20% with runner-up in these conditions, No. 5 Regal Rebel is half-sister to two grass-court winners. #6 She is a Natural who ran a respectable speed number on her debut and could improve the second time around. #7 Cape Cod Causeway is also a half-sister with many grass tournament winners and enjoys Jose Lezcano in the saddle. Finally, #8 Sweet Lies is the second starter for Graham Motion her pitch debut.

Race 3 is a second-level optional claim race at six grass ledges. I will use two horses here. #1 Guildsman has been facing high quality horses all year and has had a very broad final ride at this level. He’s hooked on the inside and will have a much better ride. #5 Scuttlebuzz has a strong finishing kick and has won two of the last three starts. He won at this condition against the New York-breds three back-to-back races and won the tier one race with the last open company.

The fourth race was a $16,000 one-mile dirt track race. My ticket uses three horses in this race. #2 Direct Order always runs competitive speed metrics. He first passed the claim for Antonio Arriaga, who hit 17% with that corner. #9 His regal qualities have been confirmed since his last start by hotness Rob Atras barn and finished second in a similar quality race last time. The winner of that race, Hammerin Aamer, was back to win the next $25,000 claim. Regal Quality is the favorite of the morning 5-2, but he is not an overwhelming pick and should not reduce the rewards too much if he wins.

The final race in the series is Race 5, a 2-year-old special weight class race that spans 1/16 mile on grass for 2-year-olds. I’m ending the series by picking a 10-1: #2 Etheric shot. She got stuck after a very slow pace in her debut at Laurel Park, lagging behind 14 segments at the half-mile point. Even so, she made it through the traffic and took third place, being beaten two stages. She’s been doing well since the race for that coach Michael Dickinson and can make a great effort for a great price.

My original Pick 4 ticket looked like this and cost $14 on a 50 cent bet.

Race 2: 1,2,4,5,6,7,8

Race 3: 1.5

Race 4: 2.9

Race 5: 2
