Morning News

Good morning...

A very quiet day, yesterday...

With just 15 rated races.

So I wasn't expecting too much which, is sort of what we got.

Today there are almost twice as many races and I'm expecting better things.

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 20%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 20%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 15.79% from all 19 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 32.21 units returned to 45 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -28.42%

Top Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the top rated horses from 15 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 9.21 units returned to 15 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -38.6%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the second rated horses from 15 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7.5 units returned to 15 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -50%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 15 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 15.5 units returned to 15 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 3.33%

Something to make you smile

Adam and Eve

One day, God and Adam were walking in the Garden of Eden.

God told Adam that it was time to populate the world.

"Adam," he said, "you can start by kissing Eve."

"What's a kiss?" asked Adam.

God explained and then Adam took Eve behind a bush and kissed her.

Adam returned with a big smile on his face and said, "Lord, that was great! What's next?"

"Now you must caress Eve."

"What's caress?" asked Adam.

God explained and then Adam took Eve behind a bush and lovingly caressed her.

Adam returned with a bigger smile and said, "Lord, that was even better than a kiss! What's next?"

"Here is what gets the deed done. Now I want you to make love to Eve."

"What is make love?" asked Adam.

God explained and then Adam took Eve behind the bush.

A few seconds later, Adam returned and asked, "Lord, what is a headache?"
