Jeremy Plonk: Bet $100, Get $10 Mountaineer Tuesday Picks

The “Blooming Bankrolls” promotion this April at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet offers a $10 bonus when you bet $100 or more at select tracks each Tuesday and Thursday. Mountaineer will be the track spotlighted for this Tuesday. Here’s how I’ll approach that card with the help of the Betmix Angler database.

Mountaineer: Race 5

#2 Shiva (10-1 morning line odds) was a debut winner last May and proven to be able to get ready for a start strictly off of workouts. It’s his first start of the year, which makes this race condition suit him very well for horses who have yet to win in 2026. Trainer Marshall Godsey won with 2 of 3 local starters last week, including a $23 score. Win-place bet #2.

Mountaineer: Race 8

#1 Feels Like a Kylla (20-1 morning line odds) makes his first start at Mountaineer and first start on dirt with a chance to wake up. Fast work April 14 over the track (second-fastest of 25 despite being a maiden claimer). Trainer Julie Mathes has had some early success with her Fort Erie charges at Mountaineer, including 6-1 and 7-1 winners last week while going 6: 2-0-2. Win-place bet #1.
