Overall, Vaal was a fair card.
The main highlight was Future Red, who won Race 4 as the Best Bet and gave the report its strongest anchor. The race-by-race selections also found Beautiful One in Race 3 and Olympian Gold in Race 5 through the value/support line.
The Value Bet, Gran Canaria, and the Outsider Bet, Apache Son, did not get into the frame. The Blackbook did not land a winner, but Aint No Doubt ran well into 2nd and kept the tracked runners visible in the toughest race of the day.
You can never go broke making a profit.
