Morning News

focus-ratings-mornoing newsGood morning...

OK - so yesterday I said that we only had to win 3 races to get a decent strike rate (for our top rated horse.)

On the first page of the ratings we did just that!

And then we got another top rated winner from the second page of the ratings.

I'm not going to suggest that it was a good day or bad day - with only 11 races it was a pretty rubbish day as far as racing goes but...

It sort of ended up profitable.

In fact, you could have blindly backed all the top rated horses, done the forecasts or trifectas in every race and you would have seen a profit.

There were no Portfolio bets nor any PBS selections yesterday.

Betfair is down (scheduled maintenance) for me so I'll update the prices for our winners later on.

So, 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 36.36%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 36.36%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 33.33% from all 12 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 34.74 units returned to 32 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 8.56%

Top Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the top rated horses from 11 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.45 units returned to 11 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 85.91%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the second rated horses from 10 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 8.79 units returned to 10 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -12.1%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the third rated horses from 11 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 5.5 units returned to 11 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -50%

Something to make you laugh

Understanding Engineers 1

The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?"

The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"

The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"

The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

Understanding Engineers 2

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing who must have designed the human body.

One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."

Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."

The last one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"

Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

Understanding Engineers 4

An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess."

He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn back into a beautiful princess and stay with you for one week."

The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.

The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want."

Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog - now that's cool."

And Finally

Two engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. A woman walked by and asked what they were doing.

"We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole," said Sven, "but we don't have a ladder."

The woman took a spanner from her purse, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground. Then she took a tape measure from her purse, took a measurement, announced, "6.5 metres," and walked away.

One engineer shook his head and laughed, "A lot of good that does us. We ask for the height and she gives us the length!"

Both engineers have since quit their engineering jobs and are currently serving as elected members of Parliament.

Fine Wine

Woman's Quote of the Day:

"Men are like fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something with which you'd like to have dinner with."

Men's Counter-Quote of the Day:

"Women are like fine wine. They all start out fresh, fruity and intoxicating to the mind and then turn full-bodied with age until they go all sour and vinegary and give you a headache."

Today

Today's early test ratings show 34 rated races from five meetings.

Have a great day's racing!
