Jeremy Plonk's Sunday Kentucky Downs Key Plays

Day 6 of 7 at the Kentucky Downs boutique meeting features a pair of 2-year-old stakes races. A pick 6 carryover of $91,691 awaits and begins in Race 6.
Kentucky Downs | Race 4 | 3:05 pm ET
#12 Belle Of the Dance (8-1 morning line odds) comes off a much-improved, second-start maiden victory at Colonial Downs. Will be making turf debut for Ignacio Correas, and while sire Honor AP doesn’t have any history locally, grandsire Honor Code has had excellent numbers with his offspring here. The Colonial Downs runners continue to be the value plays of the KD meet. Win-place bet #12.
Kentucky Downs | Race 8 | 5:21 pm ET
#9 Belle of Rights (10-1 morning line odds) had a difficult trip last out at Colonial Downs and the rider change to Brian Hernandez Jr. should have her saving more ground and with a chance to flourish late. Offspring of sire Constitution show a 23% flat-bet profit at Kentucky Downs from 66 starters. Win-place bet #9.
Kentucky Downs | Race 11 | 7:02 pm ET
#3 Power of Will (12-1 morning line odds) gets a notable jockey upgrade to Frankie Dettori, who is riding lights-out at the meeting. This colt made a poorly timed moved but showed ability over the course last year when running out of steam. Dettori can right that, and this one figures to get a pressing, first-over kind of run at the leaders today. Win-place bet #3.

Hands down the best newsletter for NFL last season and it's not even close! College was no worse than break even like the rest. But their NFL was superb!
Overall 55-61 last year with best available lines from the multiple outs I had available. 48-41 year before. Record keeping subject to mistakes and missed weeks. That being said, I do like to see who they are on. Thanks buzz, appreciate all you do!

Newsletter Tracking (through 9/8/2025)

The records here will reflect the lines listed in the newsletters at the time the plays were published. This is for the rated plays, the high-ranking plays, and any type of play worth tracking. There’s no reason to keep track of every bottom-tier or “recommended” play; it’s not worth the work.

Sometimes the newsletters will cheat a little by claiming a different common or later line if it turns a loss into a push or otherwise boosts their record. I’ll usually be able to note what happened to explain the discrepancy.

I’ll also highlight particularly good or bad weekends or short-term runs. I will not include picks from newsletter issues that we don’t get in time.

After a few weeks, I'll color-code the hottest and coldest records. Usually just anything hitting/missing around 70% or more with a reasonable sample.



Extra notes on the Balt/Buff and Ten/Den games. People won, lost, and pushed on these...this is when some of the newsletters will cheat their records...
