Morning News

Good morning...

I'm not sure what to say about yesterday.

Yes, our Banker's Bet won (there wasn't a Chancer's Bet) but, apart from that...

It was just a slight less than average day.

So,

Without further ado, 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 23.53%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 26.47%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 22.86% from all 35 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 76.63 units returned to 97 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -21%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 34 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 25.23 units returned to 34 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -25.79%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 10 winners from the second rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 39.4 units returned to 31 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 27.1%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 32 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12 units returned to 32 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -62.5%

Or cringe, perhaps. From Lee - I'd have to think twice about walking into some of these rooms.
