What Worked

Today’s success can be attributed to several factors:
βœ“ Strong performances at courses like Navan and Haydock where strategic preparations paid off.
βœ“ Our AI effectively identified horses likely outperforming their odds through favorable statistics related to jockey performance and course conditions.
βœ“ Key focuses included identifying form trends leading up to race day which helped underline selections made across our strategies.

What Didn't Work

Despite many positives today, there were also shortcomings:
βœ— Several short-priced favorites overperformed unexpectedly; this included notable examples at Ascot where the racing dynamics shifted dramatically.
βœ— Underestimating certain horses' capabilities led to losses; factors like ground conditions were misjudged in certain cases.
βœ— Our reliance on historical data without adapting promptly might have contributed to misses on some stronger competitors today.
