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 Remington Park.
For this Wednesday, October 2 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the Oklahoma City track.
Remington Park | Race 1 | 7:30 pm ET
In a race of very lightly raced horses and rampant inexperience, #9 Brooklyn Alley Cat (6-1 morning-line odds) has been steadily improving in her four starts and looks to graduate with her first win. She rallied well to be third last time despite a very slow pace that hindered her come-from-behind style. The pace should be quicker in this race and she gets a jockey upgrade in the saddle. Win-place bet #9.
Remington Park | Race 6 | 9:55 pm ET
#4 Noble Aware (3-1 morning-line odds) was a distant but clear-cut runner-up last time out behind Arsonist, a filly who has come back to finish third in stakes company since then. Extra distance to 6 furlongs should help the cause for this daughter of Eclipse Award-winning champion sprinter Mitole. Win bet #4.
