Expert Picks Guide Monday's High-Stakes Racing Card at La Capelle
Three horses dominate expert consensus ahead of Monday's eight-race program
Bettors heading to the windows for Monday’s card at La Capelle have ten expert teams to lean on, with analysis covering all eight races on the program. The Quinté+, the multi-horse wager that draws the heaviest public participation each day, opens the card and anchors the afternoon’s betting interest.
Three horses have risen to the top of the expert consensus. I STILL LOVING YOU, entered in Race 1, the Prix Com de Com Thiérache du Centre at 1:55 p.m., has accumulated the maximum 100 points of expert backing. LORD ON WAY matches that figure in Race 7, the Prix Office de Tourisme de Thiérache, scheduled for 5:29 p.m. NEVER ALONE, running in Race 2 for the Prix des Donneurs d’Organes de l’Aisne at 2:30 p.m., trails slightly with 85 points of expert support.
The venue sits in the Thiérache region, and the card’s race names reflect local sponsorship tied to regional institutions and causes, a detail that gives the afternoon a distinctly local character even as it draws national betting attention.
Eight races in total run from mid-afternoon into the early evening, offering multiple entry points for bettors across the day.
The expert selection process follows a structured format. Each day, every team nominates one winning pick from among their chosen horses across the card. When that horse wins or places, the team earns bonus points calculated directly from official PMU (Pari Mutuel Urbain) payouts for that race. The mechanism rewards both accuracy and strategic thinking, and it gives bettors a way to track which expert teams perform consistently over time.
By contrast with looser tipster formats, this scoring system creates genuine accountability. A team’s reputation rises or falls on verifiable results, race by race.
