Craon's Monday Card Demands Sharp Form Analysis; Quinté+ Prize Anchors Nine-Race Program

Expert handicappers converge on three consensus picks for Craon's nine-race closing card.

Craon racecourse closes out the “Trois Glorieuses” racing series on Monday, September 7, 2026, with nine races scheduled across the day. The centerpiece is the Finale du Trophée Vert in the first division, which carries the Quinté+ jackpot and anchors what analysts describe as a card demanding detailed form study and careful wagering decisions.

Ten pairs of expert handicappers have worked through the full nine-race program. Their assessments, compiled by journalist Kevin Baudon on September 6, 2026, draw on recent horse form, track conditions, and competitive positioning at Craon. Standard methodology applies throughout: evaluation of class levels, jockey-trainer combinations, and the surface-specific factors that shape results on this particular track.

Three horses stand out as consensus picks. All Right Now, running in race five at 16:33 under Prix Groupama (Prix de la Sayette) conditions, accumulates 100 points in expert citations, making it the most frequently selected horse on the card. Kannabis Jeloca, entered in race four at 15:45 for the Prix Chaussee aux Moines, draws 90 points of expert backing. Kayne Richer, scheduled for race six at 17:09 in the Prix Dirickx, collects 75 points. These three represent the clearest areas of agreement among the analyzing teams, though consensus, as any experienced bettor knows, is not a guarantee.

The expert teams work within a structured framework. Each day, every team identifies a single winning selection from among the horses they have analyzed. The scoring system awards points when selected horses win or place, with calculations tied directly to official PMU (Pari Mutuel Urbain) payouts for each race. That link to actual payout figures creates a performance-based ranking that measures prediction accuracy across the full program, not just the headline race.

By contrast with earlier legs of the series, Monday’s card at Craon offers bettors a final window to engage with expert-analyzed racing before the “Trois Glorieuses” concludes. Full breakdowns for all nine races are available through the PMU platform and on equidia.fr, alongside supporting commentary for each selection.

The concentration of expert opinion around All Right Now points to strong form indicators, but track conditions, jockey decisions, and competitive pressure on the day itself will determine whether that consensus holds up when the gates open.
