What Worked
Our data-driven approach continued to shine through effective laying strategies today! The AI accurately identified weak contenders in both races where we laid horses not to place and those not to win—especially at Ffos Las where many selections fell short of expectations due to their overall race dynamics or competition level being higher than anticipated.
Performance metrics indicated a clear advantage when selecting horses with unfavorable conditions or overstated public confidence levels—factors critical for adjusting strategy moving forward!

What Didn't Work
On the flip side, many of our win picks underperformed significantly based on initial assessments; horses like Isla Bella and Lady Henrietta failed to capitalize on promising odds despite showing earlier potential in their training regimens or pre-race analytics.
Clearly delineating which factors played into these downfalls will be key; whether it was racing conditions changing unexpectedly or misjudgments about competition strength needs further analysis going forward as we refine our prediction models!
