Morning News

Good morning...

A so, so day...

And nothing that I can really say about it.

We did get one big reverse Trifecta but...

That's about the only thing that sort of stands out.

I'm not often lost for words but...

I seem to be so, this morning.

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 23.53%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 22.86%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 22.86% from all 35 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 76.43 units returned to 98 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -22.01%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 34 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.69 units returned to 34 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -27.38%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the second rated horses from 33 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 23.49 units returned to 33 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -28.82%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the third rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 28.25 units returned to 31 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -8.87%
