The analysis in my page is up at least. Need to decide what to go for the ticket but it looks quite similar to what I posted. Will go through trainers opinions and stuff on rikstoto and other online pages and check %s before I decide on what to play.

I think this needs an explanation. Because we're losing money, me included.

This is the history of races for Hope And Glory (click name). If you sort by distance and scroll down to the group of 1.170 m races, you get to see the times the horse has managed to cross the finish line in. I have clipped them for you in the following image.

As you can see, the best the horse has is 1.11,5 time for 1.170 m. That's the horses best ever running in pro races for both good and soft ground. Now, as you can see from the last entry, the horse just won in 1.10,2 with an Amateur and 66 kg. How is that possible? I DON'T KNOW.

The horse even comes from having it's hoof crushed as you can see in the Program.

The fact remains that my banker was beaten a nose in 1.10,2. Here you can see the photo finish.

So my explanation is.. amateur jockey of my banker Azure World messed up. Should've won by at least 4 lengths, and even misses the finish line on the last push. Trainer of Azure World messed up, the Flexible Blinkers apparently did not have a positive effect, I'd even go as far to say they acted negatively. Hope And Glory was in too good form and the inside of the track apparently faster.

I messed up. No matter what, even if Hope And Glory wins like this in this unbelievable time, I should not have played the banker on this amateur race, on this amateur jockey, from this particular trainer, no matter how good it was on paper, even after corroborating it from watching the previous races. Even more so because we're talking about Øvrevoll.

But the thing is, I don't know what to say. The favorite loses in R1, the only banker I chose, and now three favorites in a row win! None of which had close enough to such an easy race and good chance as the one I chose, but they won.

So that's my explanation. I hope we have better luck next time.
