For this Wednesday, September 24 article, Jeremy Plonk shares everything you need to know for the racing card for Churchill Downs.
Churchill Downs | Race 3 | 1:43 pm ET
#5 Sweet Note (9-2 morning line odds) has the best victory on the resume of any of these non-winners of 2 lifetime contenders and she rounded back into form nicely last time out with a runner-up bid at Ellis Park. Past Churchill Downs form is good and note the little-ballyhooed Donald Habeeb barn is 6-for-10 in the exacta (2 wins) since mid-June at average odds of nearly 12-1.
Win bet #5.
Churchill Downs | Race 8 | 4:19 pm ET
#5 Caribbean Wind (7-2 morning line odds) is beautifully drawn in this full-field turf sprint. Trainer Wesley Ward is a maestro in Kentucky turf dashes (27% wins, 7% flat-bet profit since 2021). This filly comes in fresh and firing bullet workouts in the morning. Should be forward throughout and tough to outrun.
Win bet #5.
