Morning News

Good morning...

Well, what a start to December!

A 44.44% strike rate for the top rated horse is certainly nothing to complain about.

Had you backed every top rated horse in every race you would have made a profit of 36.5% on your stakes.

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 44.44%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 45%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 36.36% from all 22 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 35.32 units returned to 53 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -33.36%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 18 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.57 units returned to 18 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 36.5%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the second rated horses from 18 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7 units returned to 18 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -61.11%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the third rated horses from 17 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 3.75 units returned to 17 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -77.94%
