Good morning...
A rather difficult day for the ratings and there was really nothing that stands out enough for me to comment.
We did rather well with the Place Betting Strategy, though.
I've done a catch up summary of the last two days at the bottom of this post.
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, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 15.91%.
Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 17.98%.
Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 16.33% from all 49 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 111.98 units returned to 125 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -10.42%
Top Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the top rated horses from 44 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 22.65 units returned to 44 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -48.52%
2nd Rated Horse - There were 14 winners from the second rated horses from 41 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 61.75 units returned to 41 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 50.61%
3rd Rated Horse - There were 5 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 27.58 units returned to 40 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -31.05%

Summary
After sixteen days we are running at a strike rate of 33.82% (23 winners from 68 selections) and have had 69.0315 points returned to 68 points staked (assuming a Betfair commission of 5%.)
So, after sixteen days we've made 3.032% profit on our stakes.
One of my data files is corrupt and, thus I can report on how many races are rated today.
I'll get that sorted out in time for the normal ratings.
Have a great day's racing!
