What Didn't Work
On the flip side, we encountered significant setbacks with particular win pick selections:
✗ Some favorites drastically underperformed contrary to their prior form and perceived ability.
✗ Factors such as unexpected weather changes impacted racing surfaces negatively influenced what we assumed would be reliable performances.
✗ Misjudging certain jockeys' capabilities led to premature or uninformed decisions regarding potential placements.
