Today was not our best day at Race-AI, finishing down -5 points overall. While we saw some notable wins, they were overshadowed by a number of disappointing results that failed to meet expectations. Our win strategy managed to achieve an acceptable strike rate of 38%, but it wasn't enough to offset the losses in several races. The place strategy performed reasonably well at 61%, but we had several near misses that could have turned the day around. As always, we remain committed to transparency and learning from every outcome, which will enable us to improve future selections.

Place Selections

Our place strategy saw considerable success today with a total of eight horses finishing within the top three places across various races; however, it still wasn’t enough to significantly impact overall profits positively.

Ardad Ned - Curragh 1:15
📊 Result: 3rd | P&L: -0.24 pts
A solid performance but couldn't quite keep pace with the leaders down the stretch.

Put up a valiant effort but came up short against stronger competition.

Only In Manila - Brighton 2:55
📊 Result: 2nd | P&L:-0.56 pts
Had a good start but couldn’t close strong enough when it counted most.

Our place strategy finished with about a 61% success rate, indicating that while there were successes, many placements were disappointing given their odds and expectations set beforehand.

Lay Selections

We executed our lay strategy with great confidence today as well—49 bets resulted in successful lays for over 80%, gaining us 11.42 points profit overall, which is reassuring despite other shortcomings across selections.

Silk Braid - Curragh 1:50
📊 Result: 1st (WON) | P&L:-7.00 pts
Caught us by surprise as it delivered an unexpected front-running performance that we didn't foresee.

Cave Bridge - Carlisle 2:32
📊 Result : Won | P&L : -1 pt
Missed our lay expectation even though it performed below market analysis predictions prior.

Despite these setbacks among lays, the strategy remains largely successful when viewed through its overall profitability lens for today’s events.

What Worked

Today's wins primarily stemmed from consistent performance patterns observed in certain courses such as Curragh and Brighton where horses ran true to expected form based on historical data trends we analyzed thoroughly beforehand; particularly evident was Acclamatic's strong win backed by data indicating solid pacing potential throughout similar past races—this proved true again today!

What Didn't Work

Unfortunately, several high-confidence selections didn’t deliver results reflective of their earlier promising indicators such as those seen with Silk Braid and Cave Bridge who fell prey to unexpected late surges from competitors—even underestimating external factors like weather fluctuations played into their outcomes negatively affecting expected finishes resulting from last minute changes during runs towards finish lines thus revealing gaps needing further evaluation moving forward.
