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 Keeneland.
For this Wednesday, November 13 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the historic Louisville, Kentucky track.
Churchill Downs | Race 7 | 3:55 pm ET
#6 Hear the Queen (3-1 morning line odds) was beaten favorite in her first career start but ran credibly in defeat. Note that trainer Brad Cox wins 44% (12-27) at Churchill Downs with 2-year-old second-time starters who were defeated as favorites at first asking like this. You may get him once, but not often twice. Win bet #6.
Churchill Downs | Race 9 | 4:55 pm ET
Top jockey Tyler Gaffalione had several potential mounts in this race but opted for #5 Tweetster (3-1 morning line odds). Her first attempt around two turns was a better-than-it-looks second after dealing with traffic issues and a slow pace. It should cook early and set up for her. Win bet #5.
