Bad luck.

I had a good day there. I was VERY confident in the last race, and I managed to get the first 4.

I think it's important to work out which races are likely to trouble you and go really easy in those races. For example, I decided not to put a trifecta or first4 on in the Emirates, because I was pretty certain that a roughie would get in there and spoil things for my tips. As it was, Sutology still spoiled the party in R8.
