Morning News

Good morning...

So, a pretty good day, yesterday.

Had you done the forecast on every race you would have made a small profit (£26.33 would have been returned to £21 staked in the qualifying races.)

However, had you done the reverse forecast in the 21 qualifying races, you would have had £101.70 returned to £42 staked.

Likewise, had you done the Tricast or Trifecta in all relevant races, you would have got a return of at least 8 times your stakes.

And had you blindly backed the top rated horse in every race, you would have made a profit of about 15% on your stakes.

I wish that I knew in advance when days like that pop up.

Anyway, enough of that, 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%.

Something to make you smile

Anesthesia

My husband was just coming out of anesthesia after a series of tests in the hospital, and I was sitting at his bedside.

His eyes fluttered open, and he murmured, "You`re beautiful."

Flattered, I continued my vigil while he drifted back to sleep. Later he woke up and said, "You`re cute."

"What happened to `beautiful`?" I asked him.

"The drugs are wearing off," he replied.

Forgive Your Enemies?

The preacher's Sunday sermon was "Forgive Your Enemies."

He asked how many of the congregation have forgiven their enemies?

About half held up their hands.

He then repeated his question. Now about 80% held up their hands.

He then repeated his question once more.

All responded, except one elderly lady.

"Mrs. Johnson, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any."

"Mrs. Johnson that is very unusual. How old are you?"

"Ninety-three," she replied.

"Mrs. Johnson, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a person cannot have an enemy in the world?"

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle and said, "I outlived every one of those bitches!"
