Churchill Downs Picks:

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.

For this Thursday, September 25 article, Jeremy Plonk shares everything you need to know for the racing card for Churchill Downs.

 

Churchill Downs | Race 3 | 6:00 pm ET

#7 Globalist (5-2 morning line odds) has had three solid placings so far in his career, all in Indianapolis, but should very well at this Churchill Downs class level. Trainer Brad Cox has three wins and a second with his four starters this year locally in maiden claiming dirt miles, so he knows how to place these kinds.
Win bet #7.

Churchill Downs | Race 5 | 6:59 pm ET

#2 Theoretical (8-1 morning line odds) could be a live price play as trainer Norm Casse not only is off to a fast start at the 2025 Churchill September Meeting, but notably, he won twice last September with 2-year-old first-time starters that paid $14 and $37.
Win-place bet #2.
