Morning News

Good morning...

Another stonking day...

Let's hope that this is a sign of things to come.

Once again, had you blindly done the forecast in every race, you would be in profit as a result.

The same goes for the reverse forecast.

It looks like being a quiet day, today - I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad but I do like the winter racing as the races start and finish earlier.

Anyway, 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 29.41%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.41%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.73% 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 63.25 units returned to 96 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -34.11%

Top Rated Horse - There were 10 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 44.65 units returned to 34 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 31.32%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the second rated horses from 30 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 13.6 units returned to 30 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -54.67%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the third rated horses from 32 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 5 units returned to 32 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -84.37%

Something to make you smile

Vasectomy

A man goes into hospital for a vasectomy.

When he wakes up he's surrounded by several anxious looking doctors and asks nervously "Is there a problem?"

The head surgeon says gently, with tears in his eyes "I'm afraid so...I'm sorry but your notes got mixed up and we've given you a
sex change rather than a vasectomy."

The patient is devastated and shockingly replies "Do you mean to say I'll never experience another erection."

The surgeon pauses for a moment then says "Well, you might, but it won't be yours."

Today

Today's early test ratings show 29 rated races from five meetings.

Have a great day's racing!
