Not the best of days.

With the abandonment of Balaklava the quinella outlay was $158 and the return was $157. The trifecta outlay was $1,350 and the return was $1,300. The F. Four outlay was $4,560 and the return was $480 - there was only one F.F. success from the 10 races which is well below the average of 1 in 4.

In Sandown R1 there were 2 horses for the last place in the selection process, and instead of including them I decided to omit them. Which was a pity because not only would it have snared the quinella and trifecta, but also the F.Four of $6,000, and would have meant a winning day for all three types of bets.

The faves won most of the 10 races, and in spite of snaring the winner in 9 of them the Win result showed a 22% loss.
