Morning News

Good morning...

So, another happy day yesterday,

With a decent strike rate for our top rated horse and...

The third winning day in a row for our Place Betting Strategy.

I shall be taking the day off today but I will try to reply to outstanding emails first.

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 30.77%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.63%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.63% 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 80.56 units returned to 79 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 1.97%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 26 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 31.33 units returned to 26 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 20.5%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the second rated horses from 26 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 22.48 units returned to 26 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -13.54%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the third rated horses from 27 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 26.75 units returned to 27 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -0.93000000000001%

Something to make you laugh

Cannibals in the Workplace

A big corporation recently hired several cannibals in the interest of cultural diversity.

"You are all part of our team now," said the HR rep during the welcoming briefing. "You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but please don't eat any of the other employees."

The cannibals promised they would not.

Four weeks later, their boss remarked, "You're all working very hard and I'm satisfied with you. However, one of our shipping clerks has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?"

The cannibals all shook their heads no.

After the boss left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others, "Which one of you idiots ate the shipping clerk?"

A hand rose hesitantly, to which the leader of the cannibals continued, "You fool --- for 4 weeks we've been eating managers and no one noticed anything. But Noooooo, you had to go and eat someone who actually does something!"

Today

Today's early test ratings show 33 rated races from five meetings.

Every race is rated.

Have a great day's racing!

As always...

My kindest regards
