1/ST BET Horse Racing Predictions from Churchill Downs:

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 Churchill Downs.

For this Wednesday, April 30 article, Jeremy Plonk shares everything you need to know for the racing card for Keeneland.

 

Churchill Downs | Race 6 | 3:16 pm ET

#6 Norwich (5-1 morning line odds) fits the maximum eligibility conditions for this race perfectly, giving him a strength of schedule edge on the competition. Expected wet weather won’t deter him after a win on a sloppy track last time in New Orleans. Trainer Paul McGee has had a fantastic 2025 with limited starters.

Win bet-place bet #6.

Churchill Downs | Race 8 | 4:19 pm ET

#2 Game Warden (3-1 morning line odds) can turn the tables on his rival — and likely strong race favorite—Lambeth in the rematch. He chased that one the entire journey last time out in Arkansas, but the inner draw here and change of rider to Irad Ortiz Jr. give expectations that they’ll be the aggressor this time.

Win bet #2.
