Morning News

Good morning...

Back to a decent strike rate, yesterday.

And we also got two out of three for out new Place Betting Strategy.

This is just going to be a quick morning news today as I'm hoping to go to the beach this afternoon as...

I feel the need for a nice theraputic paddle.

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 28.21%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 26.83%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 26.19% from all 42 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 93.48 units returned to 119 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -21.45%

Top Rated Horse - There were 11 winners from the top rated horses from 39 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 28.31 units returned to 39 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -27.41%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the second rated horses from 40 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 30.5 units returned to 40 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -23.75%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the third rated horses from 40 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 34.67 units returned to 40 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -13.32%
