Insight

It was a day to forget for backers of the market leaders at Newton Abbot. With a favourite strike rate of 0%, the market proved to be an unreliable guide throughout the six-race card. Punters were consistently turned over as the favourites failed to find the winner's enclosure in every single race.

The afternoon was defined by competitive racing and wider-margin results, with Bits Ballou providing the biggest upset of the day at odds of 7.00 in the final event. The Twiston-Davies yard enjoyed the most success, securing two victories to lead the trainer standings on an unpredictable day of turf racing.
