Morning News

Good morning...

A pretty good day for us yesterday,

Although it started better than it ended.

Our Place Betting Strategy selections made us a small profit and...

We are now in profit for the month,

For the third month in a row.

And there were a couple of stonking combination Trifectas later on in the day.

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 28.57%.

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 27.03% from all 37 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 82.32 units returned to 102 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -19.29%

Top Rated Horse - There were 10 winners from the top rated horses from 35 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 25.5 units returned to 35 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -27.14%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the second rated horses from 34 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 27.75 units returned to 34 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -18.38%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the third rated horses from 33 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 29.07 units returned to 33 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -11.91%
