Finding valued win bets for selected races on Meadowlands Pace 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 (July 11). Each race’s total odds equal 100 per cent and is dedicated to my accepted win wager odds.
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.

RACE 9
The $425,000 Grade 1 E.T. Gerry, Jr. Hambletonian Maturity at 1 and 1/8 miles is without doubt one of the toughest handicapping tasks given me in years. Thirteen go to the gate (as of this column’s deadline three days before the race) with more than a good argument for each. That alone makes it a near-impossible task to assign odds equaling 100 per cent with any confidence of accuracy. My suggestion is to pass betting to win on the race and enjoy it as a spectator.
