“Losses are logged, not hidden. That’s what earns trust.”
Cumulative Outcome Analysis

• 1 Win from 6 = poor result, but model integrity intact
• No tips, no “wrong picks” — only fig vs result divergence

1x V15 Anchor Won – Alexei (R5)
2x Anchors Placed – Bud Fox (3rd), Glengouly (4th)
3x Anchors Beaten – Ambiente Friendly, Jordans Cross, Beauport
2x Forecast Partners Placed – Kim Roque (2nd), Protektorat (3rd)
• All four losing anchors were in zone or drifted late
• No major TOTE collapse — structure mostly respected

- Cold Jockeys — Twiston-Davies double (R1 + R4) underperformed. Adjustment: Increase weighting on cold status if multiple mounts show no recent fig validation.
- Weight-Only Runners — Triple Trade (R3) beat the fig ceiling. Model rightly rejected, but result suggests track-specific drift allowance may be needed.
- Caution Runner Win (Saint Clovis) — This was the one overlay fail. Gear plus cold stable was overrated as a caution factor. Needs refinement for NH Flat overlays.
- Beaten Favourite Exclusions — Soldier Reeves and Kdeux Saint Fray were excluded due to overlay logic but won. May require soft-ground-specific AU tracking for BF LTO runners.
- Exacta/Trifecta Layer Performance — Multiple combos were live (R3, R5), but too few hit both legs. Suggest Partner expansion from 2 to 3 runners in large fields only.
- No simulation used
- Model did not tip
- All calls made pre-race
- Losses logged transparently
- Refinements suggested structurally — not emotionally
