Morning News

Good morning...

Another very strong day, yesterday,

And, overall, a good weekend.

With only three meetings yesterday there didn't seem much point in sitting in front of the computer watching the results coming in and, so...

Jill and I spent the afternoon, visiting friends (us expat Brits do tend to clump together in the summer) and sitting in the garden eating smelly cheese and getting sunburnt.

Anyway, that's got nothing to do with racing so 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 31.58%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 30%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 33.33% from all 21 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 50.66 units returned to 53 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -4.42%

Top Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the top rated horses from 19 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.26 units returned to 19 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 6.63%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the second rated horses from 17 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 17.9 units returned to 17 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 5.29%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 17 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12.5 units returned to 17 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -26.47%

Today

Today's early test ratings show 33 rated races from five meetings.

I have one last bit of work to do with some of the analysis that I have been doing and, from tomorrow, I should be back on track to start waffling on about strategies and so forth once again.

Have a great day's racing!
