1/ST BET Horse Racing Predictions:

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 Wednesday, September 25 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the legendary Kentucky track.

Churchill Downs | Race 2 | 1:14 pm ET

#2 Combattante (6-1 morning line odds) has a pedigree and running style to be more effective at today’s route distance than his 3 previous sprints. Catches a field that’s not very talented and can take advantage of a ground-saving trip on both turns. Win-place bet #2.

Churchill Downs | Race 8 | 4:22 pm ET

#3 Girls Weekend (4-1 morning line odds) appears quickest of all in this 5-furlong dash. She should bust out quickly and be able to hug the rail with a short run to the only turn and cut the corner with an edge turning for home under aggressive early-speed jockey Luis Saez. Win bet #3.
