Morning News

Good morning...

Another reasonable day, yesterday.

And, once again,

A day when, had you done the forecast in every race, you would have had about £94 returned to your £17 staked.

Our only PBS selection was a non-runner and there was no Portfolio bet.

So, not too much that I can really say.

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 25% from all 20 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 35.75 units returned to 47 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -23.94%

Top Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the top rated horses from 17 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 21.75 units returned to 17 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 27.94%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 0 winners from the second rated horses from 16 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 0 units returned to 16 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -100%
