Morning News

Good morning...

I would like to apologise for the lack of contact over the weekend.

My internet went off at lunchtime on Saturday and didn't come back on until Monday morning.

This is because we are being upgraded to fibre.

Once it's finished I'll have faster and more reliable internet but it's a pain whilst the upgrade is going on.

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 23.08%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.08%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.08% from all 13 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 40.74 units returned to 39 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 4.46%

Top Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the top rated horses from 13 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7.74 units returned to 13 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -40.46%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the second rated horses from 13 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 26 units returned to 13 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 100%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the third rated horses from 13 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7 units returned to 13 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -46.15%

Pest Control

A woman was having a passionate affair with an inspector from a pest-control company.

One afternoon they were carrying on in the bedroom together when her husband arrived home unexpectedly.

"Quick," said the woman to her lover, "into the closet!" and she pushed him in the closet, stark naked.

The husband, however, became suspicious and after a search of the bedroom discovered the man in the closet.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm an inspector from Termite Busters," said the exterminator.

"What are you doing in there?" the husband asked.

"I'm investigating a complaint about an infestation of moths," the man replied.

"And where are your clothes?" asked the husband.

The man looked down at himself and said, "Those little bastards."
