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, October 10 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 Run Jalen Run (9-2 morning line odds) is one of the few horses in this race with true sprinter’s speed. The distance and potential easy trip up front make him a solid play. Perennial top Keeneland jockey Tyler Gaffalione rides and doesn’t make many mistakes. Win bet #4.
Keeneland | Race 8 | 4:44 pm ET
#10 Chasing the Crown (3-1 morning line odds) looks to be the strongest finisher in this turf race and exits a series of races against slightly tougher competition. Trainer Mike Maker typically does well with these types and should have this one hustling late in the game. Win bet #10.
