Strangely, my opinion was far better in races 1 and 2, both maiden races, than in 3 and 4. I wish I was braver in the ROI and played difficult races like 9 and 12. I probably wouldn't ever hit the board, but if I did, the returns would be so much better. Those races looked like any one of 6 or 7 horses could win so I wisely avoided them and hit the race I played, but it was hardly worth it.
As the keeper of the abacus said, "humbling."
