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 24 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the historic Lexington, Kentucky track.
Keeneland | Race 7 | 4:12 pm ET
#6 Snead (8-1 morning line odds) looked like a bona fide Kentucky Derby prospect coming into 2024, but he wasn’t able to stay healthy to make the spring classics. He’s had one race back in September to set him up for this return to a 1-1/8 mile distance that should suit his stamina. Win-place bet #6. Daily Double 6-7 to our next key play.
Keeneland | Race 8 | 4:44 pm ET
#7 Bling (3-1 morning line odds) gets a fantastic, fast-paced set up in front of her to assist her late kick. Few, if any, ride turf sprints any better than Irad Ortiz Jr. Win bet #7.
