Morning News

Good morning...

Well, I'm happy enough with the results for yesterday although I didn't have time to look at the speed ratings.

Yesterday was another day when you could have done the forecast or reverse forecast on every race and made a profit.

The speed ratings should be on the morning ratings email today.

If the links don't work then I'll send the speed ratings later.

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 30.43%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 65.86 units returned to 70 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -5.91%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 18.61 units returned to 23 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -19.09%

2nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the second rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.75 units returned to 24 units staked. The Second Rated Profit Index was, thus, -13.54%

3nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the third rated horse in all of the races you would have had 26.5 units returned to 23 units staked. The Third Rated Profit Index was, thus, 15.22%

Speed Ratings

I have edited the code that generates the morning ratings email so that the speed ratings can be included on it.

Now, there is no way of testing that code so I have a backup copy of yesterday's code that I can run if things all go horribly wrong.

The Links to the speed ratings will be numbered 19 & 20 and will come just below the Bot format ratings.

If the links for the speed ratings don't work then don't worry; I'll send out the Speed Ratings seperately.
