Today was a tough day for Race-AI, ending with a loss of -64.32 points across 528 selections. Our win strategy had a 31% strike rate but struggled to deliver strong profits, while the place strategy performed decently with a 56% strike rate, yielding some gains. However, our lay strategy encountered significant setbacks, resulting in substantial losses despite high confidence levels on several selections. We always aim for transparency and honesty in our performance reports, and today’s results underline the unpredictable nature of racing. We’ll analyze what worked and what didn’t so we can continue improving our approach moving forward.

What Didn't Work
Several factors hindered today's overall efficacy:
✗ High-confidence lays like Ribee failed dramatically when they finished first—a stark reminder of racing’s unpredictability.
✗ Overestimating previous performances without considering current race dynamics contributed negatively.
✗ Some horses simply did not meet expectations despite favorable odds—highlighting potential gaps in tracking changing forms effectively.
✗ Underestimating competitor conditions led to surprises that weren’t accounted for adequately within algorithms.
