Morning News

Good morning...

Back with a bang yesterday!

A strike rate, for the top rated horse, of 40.74% is none too shabby.

And sort of makes up for Tuesday.

Today I shall work on a way of making the new Speed Ratings easier to understand and use.

Anyway, I'll get to that, firstly let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....

Yesterday's Results

Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 40.74%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 61.43 units returned to 82 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -25.09%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 29.64 units returned to 27 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 9.78%

2nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the second rated horse in all of the races you would have had 16.29 units returned to 27 units staked. The Second Rated Profit Index was, thus, -39.67%

3nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the third rated horse in all of the races you would have had 15.5 units returned to 28 units staked. The Third Rated Profit Index was, thus, -44.64%
