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 Churchill Downs.
For this Thursday, September 26 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the legendary Kentucky track.
Churchill Downs | Race 6 | 7:25 pm ET
#5 Book’em (7-2 morning line odds) was strongly backed in her career debut in June over the Churchill main track. She overcame repeated trouble to finish a rallying second but paid the price and has been on the sidelines since. Workouts indicate she’ll come back firing. Win bet #5. Daily Double to next pick, 5-7.
Churchill Downs | Race 7 | 7:54 pm ET
#7 Daily Grind (5-1 morning line odds) should be best suited amongst this group to handle the rare mile and one-quarter distance. He was second at Churchill during Derby Week behind eventual major stakes winner Batten Down at this same trip. His pedigree suggests a run-all-day style displayed when he won over a mile and one-eighth at Saratoga last time. Win-place bet #7.
