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 Keeneland.
For this Thursday, October 17 article, we’ve got “Plonk’s Picks” for racing, featuring racing from the historic Lexington, Kentucky track.
Keeneland | Race 5 | 3:08 pm ET
#9 Speechless (9-2 morning line odds) ran decently in his debut this summer against eventual Grade 1 stakes winner and likely Breeders’ Cup Juvenile favorite East Avenue. Not only did he run into traffic trouble in that race, he had similar issues when the beaten favorite last time at Churchill Downs. A clean trip remedies a lot today and trainer Rodolphe Brisset has been on fire at the Keeneland Fall Meet. Win bet #9. Daily Doubles 9-7 and 3-7 to the key play in the next race.
Keeneland | Race 6 | 3:40 pm ET
#7 Finster (6-1 morning line odds) was in the unenviable spot of battling between horses last time in a very fast race at Churchill Downs against a much-respected winner. While he lost for the first time in three starts, he was only beaten three lengths. Bounces back under big rider upgrade to Flavien Prat. Win bet #7.
