Strike rate records how often a selected horse was beaten. It does not establish profit or, by itself, the quality of the original selection. Profit and loss depend on matched odds, stake, liability and commission.

What we learned / things to watch

Two finishes turned on the last stretch: Zoffman was caught close home, while Hidden Force made his late lead last. Future checks should distinguish a late move that fades from one that carries through to the line.
