What Worked

Patterns that drove our success included identifying strong contenders based on recent form and conditions favorable for specific horses' profiles across various courses like Wolverhampton and Punchestown. Our AI successfully pinpointed valuable factors such as jockey performance and course familiarity that led to quality selections resulting in profit margins.
For instance, Nettuno Italia's victory showcased how careful analysis leads us toward profitable bets when considering conditions unique to each race type.

What Didn't Work

However, some selections faltered due to underestimation of certain horses’ capabilities or overestimating their competitors’ forms; for example, Jamie Sommers finished poorly despite prior confidence levels being high at selection time.
We also learned about unexpected dynamics affecting race pacing that are hard to quantify accurately beforehand led our analysis astray at critical moments during races—this emphasizes fostering continuous adaptability within our models moving forward hence refining them further still is crucial going ahead!
