Not our best day, finishing -43.79 points. While it's disappointing to close the year with a loss, we believe in full transparency and learning from every performance. We had a total of 86 selections today across various races, but unfortunately, our strategies didn't yield the expected results. Among the highlights was **Express Surprise**, which won at Uttoxeter, but ultimately, the losses outweighed the wins.

Our win strategy saw a mix of results today, with seven winners out of 29 bets. While it's great to celebrate Express Surprise claiming victory, overall performance was not enough to mitigate the day's losses.

📊 Result: 📉| Position :🏆(WON)| SP : 🥇8-10 ✔️|P&L : -7pts|LAY LOST ❌
This lay backfired badly when Roger Rarebit took an unexpected lead into victory costing us significantly due to high liability!

Despite some successful lays going our way today, several unexpected performances derailed our planned outcomes significantly impacting profitability.

What Worked

Despite today's overall struggles, there were identifiable patterns within our wins:
✓ Course familiarity helped horses like Express Surprise, indicating advantageous conditions can play a vital role.
✓ Our analysis of past performances led us correctly on multiple lays.
✓ Strong confidence levels in certain horses were justified through compelling finishes which reinforced trust in data-driven selections.
✓ A handful of strategic placements yielded profitable outcomes thanks entirely to diligent pre-race research methodology employed by Race-AI team members.

What Didn't Work

The unexpected dynamics of today's racing left us exposed:
✗ Overconfidence in specific favorites such as those chosen for laying led us astray; underestimated factors meant these selections weren't potent enough.
✗ Some unexpected course conditions played against assumptions made regarding stamina sustainability.
✗ We misjudged how many vulnerabilities existed within certain runners which could have been better analyzed prior leading up race time.
✗ Lack of success primarily stemmed from individual runner inconsistencies rather than strategic errors; hence minor tweaks may be necessary moving forward toward refining future selections further effectively!

How RaceNet AI Learns & Improves

- Data collected during these events will be fed into RaceNet algorithms improving accuracy predictions & patterns recognition.

Every result informs future decision-making processes guiding us steadily along improvements journey ensuring commitment remains intact despite setbacks faced today onwards towards consistent growth potential awaiting exploration!
