Missed Opportunities: High-Priced Winners We Didn't Select
These horses won at good prices and had reasonable win probabilities according to our runner analysis, but didn't make it into our final selections. This helps us understand what opportunities we're leaving on the table.
| Date | Course | Horse | Odds | Win Prob | Potential Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 29 Sept | Wolverhampton (AW) | Rajendra Has shown promise with a recent third. However, winless in last six starts raises concerns. Needs to improve significantly. | 13.00 | 15% | +12.00 pts |
| 3 Oct | Redcar | Duc de Kent Last-time winner with a rating of 86, showing potential. However, inconsistent prior performances raise concerns. Good recent form (1-0-0) indicates he could be a threat. | 13.00 | 25% | +12.00 pts |
| 28 Sept | Wolverhampton (AW) | Variety Act Variety Act has shown consistent form with finishes in the top three in his last four outings. He has experience at the distance and conditions, making him a strong contender. | 12.00 | 20% | +11.00 pts |
| 28 Sept | Brighton | Shes Got The Blues Recent form shows potential with three wins in last six starts. Weight (9-8) from stall 9 is a concern. | 11.00 | 18% | +10.00 pts |
| 3 Oct | Ascot | Air Force One Air Force One has shown inconsistent form with a recent win but a poor performance two starts back. Drawn in stall 1, he may struggle against stronger competitors. | 9.50 | 15% | +8.50 pts |
| 28 Sept | Hamilton | Great Profit Great Profit has been in good form with recent finishes of 2nd and 3rd. However, he faces a weight burden that could hinder performance. His recent form suggests he may struggle to place. | 9.00 | 15% | +8.00 pts |
| 2 Oct | Wolverhampton (AW) | Tiger Beetle Tiger Beetle has shown some ability but is coming off a long break (52 days). With a winless streak and a heavy weight to carry, he is unlikely to be a serious threat in this race. | 8.00 | 15% | +7.00 pts |
🎲 Missed Opportunities: Low-Priced Losers We Didn't Lay
These short-priced horses lost despite low odds, and our runner analysis gave them low win probabilities. These would have been profitable lay opportunities we missed.
| Date | Course | Horse | Odds | Win Prob | Potential Profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 Sept | Newton Abbot | Matiwo Has not run in a long time and recent form is declining. Trainer's recent performance is also poor, making this horse a risky contender. | 1.29 | 10% | +1.00 pts |
| 29 Sept | Wolverhampton (AW) | Oxbridge Another debutant with no previous runs. The trainer has a decent strike rate, but the horse's lack of experience is a concern. | 1.40 | 12% | +1.00 pts |
| 29 Sept | Wolverhampton (AW) | Methgal Methgal has shown strong recent form with wins and a second place in his last three runs. He has a solid record at this distance and is well-rated for this class. The trainer's recent form is decent, and he has a good draw from stall 8. | 1.44 | 25% | +1.00 pts |
| 4 Oct | Killarney | Time Is A Thief Time Is A Thief has a win and a second in his last two outings, showing good form. However, he has a 130-day layoff which raises concerns about his readiness. He has run well on the going before, making him a potential threat. | 1.57 | 20% | +1.00 pts |
| 3 Oct | Gowran Park | Arcadian Emperor Strong recent form with a win and two seconds in last three runs. However, long layoff of 172 days raises fitness concerns. Rated 120, he is likely to struggle under the weight. | 1.67 | 15% | +1.00 pts |
| 30 Sept | Bellewstown | Elusive Path Good recent form (3235) but has not won. Trainer has a decent strike rate. Draw 1 could help. | 1.73 | 15% | +1.00 pts |
| 28 Sept | Wolverhampton (AW) | Najidi Storm Recent form shows a 2nd place finish, but the horse has a past flag for being brought down. Needs to prove reliability in this race. | 1.91 | 15% | +1.00 pts |
| 1 Oct | Southwell | Moments Away Decent recent form with three places from last four runs. However, still lacks the winning edge needed to be a strong contender. | 1.91 | 15% | +1.00 pts |
