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 on a weekly basis to pass along some ponies that they like for races at various tracks around the country, including Turfway Park.
For this Wednesday, February 12 article, Jeremy Plonk shares everything you need to know for the racing card for Turfway Park.
#6 Verbal (10-1 morning line odds) has run second twice in two local starts on the Turfway synthetic surface, including his 2024 seasonal return. He exits a similar layoff tonight, and trainer Brendan Walsh has been on fire with four wins from his seven starters over the past two weeks at TP. Win-place bet #6.
#2 Sea the Skies (15-1 morning line odds) has a longshot chance in this one. He showed some early life going farther in distance last time, shortens the trip and represents a red-hot Anna Navarrete barn that has won with three of its last four starters at Turfway. Upgrades from low % jockey to the third-leading rider in the standings. Win-place bet #2.
