Morning News

Good morning...

Yesterday showed no real surprises,

And, the day certainly ended far better than it started.

It still interests me that the results can vary from day to day;

There's got to be a reason for it but, for the life of me, I can't think what it might be.

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 22.92%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 74.76 units returned to 141 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -46.98%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 32.58 units returned to 48 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -32.12%

2nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the second rated horse in all of the races you would have had 17.55 units returned to 46 units staked. The Second Rated Profit Index was, thus, -61.85%

3nd Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the third rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.63 units returned to 47 units staked. The Third Rated Profit Index was, thus, -47.60%
