Morning News

Good morning...

Well...

I don't know what happened yesterday but.

Regardless of the strike rate, there must have been some decent prices as, by blindly backing the top three rated horses, there was only a very minimal loss.

And, backing the third rated horse in every race actually saw a profit.

Actually, backing the second rated horse in every race saw a profit as well.

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 16%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 14.29%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 15.38% from all 26 Races (including previously unrated races.)

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 72.35 units returned to 76 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -4.8%

Top Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the top rated horses from 25 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 11.4 units returned to 25 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -54.4%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the second rated horses from 28 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 35.95 units returned to 28 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 28.39%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 23 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 25 units returned to 23 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 8.7%
