Morning News

Good morning...

Once again,

The headline figure (the strike rate of the top rated horse) might not have impressed but...

It did hide some of the value of yesterday's ratings.

Yesterday you could have blindly backed every top three rated horse and you'd have made a profit.

Also, had you done the forecast on all 27 qualifying races then you would have had £42.87 returned for £27.00 staked.

Obviously, had you done the Trifecta in all 27 races you would have had £190.90 returned for your £27.00 in stakes.

So, perhaps not such a bad day, after all.

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 22.22%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 21.43%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 25% from all 28 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 93.63 units returned to 82 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 14.18%

Top Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the top rated horses from 27 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 21.75 units returned to 27 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -19.44%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the second rated horses from 29 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 23 units returned to 29 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -20.69%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the third rated horses from 26 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 48.88 units returned to 26 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 88%
