Morning News

Good morning...

I do feel that yesterday's results don't actually reflect the performance of the ratings.

Although a 23.32% strike rate isn't too bad (and it's better than we did this time last year), I did feel that the day would end up better than it did.

Perhaps if Ludlow hadn't been abandoned, things might have been different.

Still the results are what they are and, after all, a 26% strike rate is perfectly acceptable; it's just that we've been spoilt with some outstanding results over the last three months.

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 26.32%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 26.32%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 18.52% from all 27 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 60.06 units returned to 57 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 5.37%

Top Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the top rated horses from 19 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 13.55 units returned to 19 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -28.68%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the second rated horses from 19 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 37.76 units returned to 19 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 98.74%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 2 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 8.75 units returned to 19 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -53.95%
