Morning News

Good morning...

To be honest...

We had a pretty good strike rate for the top rated horse yesterday and,

I don't really expect that at this time of the year.

In fact, I'm pretty worried that we're getting such good results at this time of the year!

I do know that the Ratings are self learning but...

Don't the horses know that the Flat racing horses that have never run before or haven't run for at least 8 months...

Are very difficult to rate?

And, as a result, they shouldn't win.

Still, I'm not complaining.

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 25%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 50.59 units returned to 84 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -39.77%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.34 units returned to 28 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -13.07%

2nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the second rated horse in all of the races you would have had 10 units returned to 29 units staked. The Second Rated Profit Index was, thus, -65.52%

3nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the third rated horse in all of the races you would have had 16.25 units returned to 27 units staked. The Third Rated Profit Index was, thus, -39.81%
