Morning News

Good morning...

Well, a far better day, yesterday.

And it was a day when you could have blindly done the forecast in every race and you would have more than quadrupled your stakes.

In fact, if you had done the reverse forecast in every race you would have still more than doubled your stakes.

And there was one big Combination Trifecta that would have given profits had you done that bet in every race.

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 32%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.63%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 33.33% from all 30 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 74.61 units returned to 77 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -3.1%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 25 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 35.11 units returned to 25 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 40.44%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the second rated horses from 27 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 39.5 units returned to 27 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 46.3%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 0 winners from the third rated horses from 25 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 0 units returned to 25 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -100%
