Valued win bets at The Meadowlands for selected races on the Hambletonian program

by Frank Cotolo

My personal odds lines (POL) offer win-wagering value guides. This set of top-class races is handicapped for The Meadowlands’ program of Saturday (Aug 8). Each race’s total odds equal 100 per cent and is dedicated to my accepted win wager odds.

The races missing from the day’s card on this list have been designated passes for wagering due to uncertainty establishing accurate win odds. It is a subjective view trusted from a history of handicapping tens of thousands of events through many decades.

As a guide for any win bets, see the PLAY list after each race; it suggests win-pool overlays that may be available depending how the pari-mutuel pool is affected by the betting public. For the best wagering results do not accept less than the suggested payoffs.
