Morning News

Good morning...

So...

This is the first time that I can ever remember that no top rated horse actually won but,

I've been up most of the night crunching the numbers and...

Have come to the conclusion that this was just a one off.

Seriously, we have good days and we have bad days.

Yesterday was one of the latter.

The one thing that I will say is that I'll report the results; good or bad.

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 -100%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 27.21 units returned to 52 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -47.67%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 0 units returned to 16 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -100%

2nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the second rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12.38 units returned to 19 units staked. The Second Rated Profit Index was, thus, -34.14%

3nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the third rated horse in all of the races you would have had 14.83 units returned to 17 units staked. The Third Rated Profit Index was, thus, -22.66%
