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 Keeneland.

For this Thursday, November 7 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

#7 Eighty West (3-1 morning line odds) finished third in a strong race at Keeneland behind a dominant wire-to-wire winner. Runner-up already has returned to win a race similar to this one at Churchill Downs, while the winner finished fourth in a stakes class rise since. Win #7. Daily Double 7-3 to next pick.

Churchill Downs | Race 8 | 4:25 pm ET

#3 Sweet Treasure (4-1 morning line odds) debuted a wire-to-wire winner on turf at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Trainer Brad Cox has long used that “B-level circuit” to start the careers of horses who need more distance to be successful right away, and not necessarily an indictment that they don’t belong with the “A circuit” horses in his barn. These Cox types win 35% off an Indy debut win with a $1.50 ROI for every $1 bet. #7 Sashay Away will be a formidable favorite, but her late-running style has consistently found traffic trouble to date. Win #3.
