Morning News

e5882c16ffe8b05f142cd336a67f9bf5Good morning...

Normally I would be quite happy with a 22% strike rate (for the top rated horse) but, after the great performance over the last week, it seems like a bit of a let down.

However, we are still running at a strike rate (for the top rated horse) of 33.33% for the month so far and I certainly can't complain about that.

And, even if our 3 PBS selections were all unplaced...

We are still in profit for the month.

I have detailed today's (and upcoming) work at the bottom of this post.

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 22.22%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 21.05%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 19.05% from all 21 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 78.79 units returned to 54 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 45.91%

Top Rated Horse - There were 4 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 10.91 units returned to 18 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -39.39%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the second rated horses from 17 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 40.75 units returned to 17 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 139.71%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 19 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 27.13 units returned to 19 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 42.79%

Today

Today's early test ratings show 21 rated races from three meetings.

Every race is rated.

Now, yesterday I should have been catching up on emails but...

A slight excess of food and mulled wine the evening before meant that, that didn't happen.

So, today I shall be catching upon mails.

I'll also be getting on with my Lowest on Yield Strategy and will be trying to implement a new Expert Ratings format although the latter will be a work in progress for a week or so.

Have a great day's racing!
