Derby Day Doldrums: Racing Alpha's v1.0 Card Fails to Fire

The Headline

It was a blank day for Racing Alpha's v1.0 AI card on Saturday 6 June. Of the three selections settled, none found the winner, resulting in a -3.00pt loss. While the model rated 58 races across eight courses – from the Derby meeting at Epsom to the jumps at Hexham – only three made the cut for the v1.0 card. The outcome is a reminder that even the sharpest algorithms can have quiet days.

The Three Losers

Each pick was well-fancied on paper but failed to deliver on the day.

Malangen (advised 7.00, -1.00pt) – couldn't justify its price tag.
Magico (advised 5.50, -1.00pt) – never got competitive.
Angelo Dundee (advised 3.00, -1.00pt) – the shortest price of the trio, but still came up short.

There's no sugar-coating it: 0 from 3 is a poor return. But transparency is central to what we do, and the full ledger of every v1.0 selection is published openly for all to see.

Transparency & Accountability

Every card we issue – win or lose – goes straight onto the public performance page. You can track the exact P&L, advised prices, and settlement status race by race. No hiding, no selective reporting. That's the Racing Alpha promise. See the full history at racingalpha.co.uk/performance.

Looking Ahead

Today's racing brings a fresh set of opportunities. The v1.0 model has already crunched the numbers on the day's cards, and the new selections will be live shortly. For now, the focus remains on disciplined analysis and long-term edge. Head to racingalpha.co.uk/today to see what the AI makes of today's action.

One blank day doesn't define the system – but it does keep us honest. Onwards.
