Morning News

Good morning...

Not much to say about yesterday.

A quiet day's racing and an average strike rate.

We only had one PBS selection and it didn't get placed.

And...

That's about it.

So, let's get straight 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 28.57%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 28.57%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 28.57% from all 28 Races (including previously unrated races.)
