Monday News

Good morning...

A very good result from a very quiet day's racing.

And we made a profit from the Place Betting Strategy.

Today looks to be a very similar day, in racing profile terms...

And I'm hoping that we can finish what has been quite a depressing month on a high note.

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 33.33%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 36.84%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 35% from all 20 Races (including previously unrated races.)

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 41.47 units returned to 55 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -24.6%

Top Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the top rated horses from 18 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 16.97 units returned to 18 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -5.72%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the second rated horses from 19 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 17.5 units returned to 19 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -7.89%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the third rated horses from 18 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7 units returned to 18 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -61.11%
