We are excited to announce a renewed partnership with the fine folks and handicappers at 1/ST BET. Jeremy Plonk and Jeff Siegel will be sharing their expertise Wednesday-Sunday on a weekly basis to pass along some ponies that they like for races at various tracks around the country, including Churchill Downs.
For this Sunday, September 22 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the legendary Kentucky track.
Churchill Downs | Race 4 | 2:13 pm ET
Look for #1 Furious Anger (6-1 morning line odds) to bounce back after a poor effort at Saratoga. He’s run his best races at Churchill Downs and should be forwardly placed throughout from an advantageous rail post position. Jockey Martin Chuan and trainer Dale Romans have teamed up to produce a 36% flat-bet profit from more than 50 combined efforts. Win-place bet #1. Exacta box 1-4 with likely favorite #4 The Prince’s Spur. Daily Doubles 1-3 and 4-3 to the pick in the next race.
Churchill Downs | Race 5 | 2:45 pm ET
#3 Penei (10-1 morning line odds) looks to continue a solid pipeline of horses from Colonial Downs to the current Churchill Downs meeting. That path has led to 3 winners from 12 starters and 5-for-12 in the exacta (with only 1 of those 5 under 5-1 odds). After two sprints to open his career, this one’s pedigree indicates a route trip will suit best and is well-drawn to save ground throughout the journey. Win-place bet #3.
