I bluddy love it when you guys get happy!

I love it when you guys make money!

It makes it (all the hard work) all worth while!

The strike rate (for the top rated horse) wasn't too shabby, yesterday, either.

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 27.27%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.41%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.78% from all 36 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 103.51 units returned to 90 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 15.01%

Top Rated Horse - There were 9 winners from the top rated horses from 33 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 26.39 units returned to 33 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -20.03%

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 17 units returned to 29 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -41.38%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the third rated horses from 28 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 60.12 units returned to 28 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 114.71%

Place Betting Strategy

Wetherby 14:15 = Lagenda - Won - Betfair paid 5.31 for the place (and slightly managed to pay 56.66 for the win!)

Killarney 19:50 - Lenora - unplaced.

After twelve days we are running at a strike rate of 39.53% (17 winners from 43 selections) and have had 53.7465 points returned to 45 points staked (assuming a Betfair commission of 5%.)

So, after twelve days we've made 19.437% profit on our stakes.
