1/ST BET Horse Racing Predictions from Keeneland:

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 Keeneland.

For this Wednesday, April 9 article, Jeremy Plonk shares everything you need to know for the racing card for Keeneland.

 

Keeneland | Race 5 | 3:08 pm ET

#9 Demolition Duke (5-2 morning line odds) gets a fantastic pace situation in front of him to set up his late rally. Trainer Brendan Walsh has won a race on each of the first 3 cards of the Keeneland Spring Meet — and nearly upset the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes on Tueday — so his runners are going very well right now.

Win bet #9.

Keeneland | Race 8 | 4:44 pm ET

#8 Ngannou (12-1 morning line odds) hasn’t raced in nearly a year but has twice run extremely well when simply training up to starts like this. We’ll continue to ride with the red-hot Brendan Walsh barn (just as with our first play today) and close the racing card with this price player.

Win-place bet #8.
