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 Wednesday, October 30 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the historic Louisville, Kentucky track.

Churchill Downs | Race 1 | 1:00 pm ET

#3 Cawkab (4-1 morning line odds) didn’t have much chance sprinting in his most recent start at speed-friendly Keeneland, but the return to a 2-turn route trip should bring about instant improvement. Two starts around 2 turns for a similar class level have netted a win and a runner-up finish. Win bet #3.

Churchill Downs | Race 9 | 4:55 pm ET

#3 Justifreak (10-1 morning line odds) has been in peak form since returning from a spring layoff this summer. The colt by Triple Crown winner Justify has run 3 times at Churchill Downs and never has been worse than second. Trainer Brendan Walsh’s barn has been on point in recent weeks in Kentucky. Win-place bet #3.
