Morning News

Good morning...

Sometimes it's hard to find anything to say for the morning news.

Yesterday wasn't a very exciting day with only three meetings but we managed to get a 45% strike rate (for our top rated horse.)

I suppose that I could mention that we are now running at a smidgen off a 30% strike rate for the month and at a 31.36% strike rate for the year to date, compared to 25.81% for 2015.

Today looks to be very similar to yesterday so we'll see if we get a similar strike rate.

Anyway, 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 45%.

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 45% from all 20 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 48.7 units returned to 58 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -16.03%

Top Rated Horse - There were 9 winners from the top rated horses from 20 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 26.07 units returned to 20 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 30.35%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 3 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 16.25 units returned to 18 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -9.72%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the third rated horses from 20 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 6.38 units returned to 20 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -68.1%
