Morning News

Good morning...

A far better day yesterday,

With a strike rate for the top rated horse of 40%

And, our Banker's Bet won as well.

From today I shall be showing the actual number of winners (as a result of a request from one of the members) for the top rated, 2nd rated and 3rd rated horses.

This will give a better idea of the accuracy of the ratings.

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 40%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 38.1%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 92.1 units returned to 118 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -21.95%

Top Rated Horse - There were 16 winners from the 40 races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 59.01 units returned to 40 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 47.53%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the 40 races. If you had blindly backed the second rated horse in all of the races you would have had 31.52 units returned to 40 units staked. The Second Rated Profit Index was, thus, -21.2%

3nd Rated Horse - There was 1 winner from the 40 races. If you had blindly backed the third rated horse in all of the races you would have had 1.57 units returned to 38 units staked. The Third Rated Profit Index was, thus, -95.87%
