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 9 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the historic Lexington, Kentucky track.

Keeneland | Race 6 | 3:40 pm ET

#3 Whiskey Shot (15-1 morning line odds) has early speed and a post position far enough inside that jockey Flavien Prat can grab the rail if aggressive and control the tempo. Trainer Rodolphe Brisset’s horses ran well on opening weekend at Keeneland, and this barn is particularly strong, with second-time starters making a major improvement off of their debut runs. Win-place bet.

Keeneland | Race 8 | 4:44 pm ET

#6 Clever Mischief (7-2 morning line odds) battled through very fast fractions in his most recent start and never buckled over the taxing turf course at Kentucky Downs. Expect him to glide more easily over the Keeneland turf and be formidable every step of the journey. Win bet.
