CD 9/17/26 - Races 1, 2, 4 & 7 - Pace and Cap

Jimmy R · 09-17-2026, 04:53 PM

Capped the four non-maiden races at Churchill tonight. I went back through the pacelines, made a few changes where I thought the more recent/comparable line was more representative, then reran everything after scratches.

Trying to put more emphasis on Race Demand first and then look for agreement in BL/BL, Rx, Primary, TPR and NewPace rather than just chasing the horse with the most #1s.

R1: 2 - 6 - 10 - 3
I prefer #2 One Mor Story as the early/pressing horse. #6 Aerate is the main OTE danger. I’ll also use 10 and 3 underneath. The ML favorite #5 Alston is underneath only for me.

R2: 10 - 1 - 6 - 5 - 7
#10 Sussudio is my top overall horse. #1 Galatina interests me because she should get a better tactical position than the stronger late horses. #6 Heart Spin is the main late threat.

R4: 6 - 2 - 5 - 7
Very close between #6 Madonna Of Loreto and #2 She’s The Law. I give #6 a slight edge based on current form and the overall readouts. #5 Sina is the speed horse I don’t want to ignore.

R7: 7 - 1 - 6A - 2A - 9
#7 So Sandy is my Best Bet of the day. The scratch of #8 Malarchuk made the pace picture much friendlier for him, and he is now my strongest combination of Race Demand and RDSS rankings. #1 Gould’s Gold and #6A Gun Party are the main horses I want underneath.

Early Double: 2,6 / 10,1,6

Straight bets will still depend somewhat on price.

I’ll come back after the races and post the results.

May the HORSE be with you!
