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 16 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the historic Lexington, Kentucky track.
Keeneland | Race 3 | 2:04 pm ET
#4 Three Polks (5-1 morning line odds) has been facing stronger competition and has the early speed to be in contention from the start. Her only prior Keeneland bid resulted in a victory here last October. Win bet #4.
Keeneland | Race 5 | 3:08 pm ET
#10 Bella Haze (30-1 morning line odds) has shown impressive early foot in longer-distance races and could be a long shot to upset this turf sprint. She tried a turf sprint last time out but ran into traffic early and late from the rail. She’s outside of the mess here. Win-place bet #10.
