What Worked
Our top wins came from horses that executed their racing strategies effectively under optimal conditions—like Magna and Call Glory—showing clear resilience during their respective races. The AI identified these key contenders based on strong previous performances and favorable odds that played into their favor today.
The place lays showed promising results when targeting less favored horses that lacked competitive form or were outclassed in larger fields—a reminder of how crucial it is to analyze current form and race dynamics closely before placing bets.

What Didn't Work
On the flip side, several factors contributed to our losses today. First and foremost was misjudging the strength of certain competitors like Duchess and Dapper Gee Gee—both exceeded expectations significantly when racing against lower-rated opponents.
Additionally, unexpected track conditions may have impacted performance dynamics leading up to races—we should account for variables like ground condition shifts more carefully in future predictions.
Finally, overconfidence in certain statistical patterns led us to underplay emerging competition trends which resulted in missed opportunities for profitable bets on outsider picks.
