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, November 27 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the historic Louisville, Kentucky track.
Churchill Downs | Race 8 | 4:25 pm ET
Trainer Al Stall Jr. has won with five of his last 11 starters at Churchill Downs and looks to add to the hot streak with #1 Sally O’Malley (7-2 morning line odds). This one helped get the streak going on November 3 and has won her last two starts with a rallying style over this same track. A bit more distance to play with today should suit her late kick. Win bet #1.
Churchill Downs | Race 9 | 4:55 pm ET
#6 Nay V Belle (7-2 morning line odds) got involved too late last time over a sloppy track and a distance 110 yards shorter than today’s assignment. Her prior form on fast footing at Churchill Downs is promising and the forecast for dry skies helps this Greg Foley trainee. Win bet #6.
