Morning News

Good morning...

A pretty unexciting day, yesterday.

With no stand out elements, good or bad.

I think that that's to be expected, the week before Cheltenham and it was the same this time last year.

I'm getting myself ready for next week...

Comfortable slippers, a fridge full of beer and other essentials like that.

It'll be nice to watch some decent racing for a change.

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 23.81%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.81%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.81% from all 21 Races (including previously unrated races.)

Top Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the top rated horses from 21 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 12.35 units returned to 21 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -41.19%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the second rated horses from 21 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7.38 units returned to 21 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -64.86%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 6 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 21.8 units returned to 20 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 9%

Something to make you laugh

Seventy-year-old George went for his annual check-up.

He told the doctor that he felt fine, but often had to go to the bathroom during the night.

Then he said: "But you know Doc, I'm blessed. God knows my eyesight is going, so he puts on the light when I pee, and turns it off when I'm done!"

A little later in the day, Dr. Smith called George's wife and said: "Your husband's test results were fine, but he said something strange that has been bugging me. He claims that God turns the light on and off for him when uses the bathroom at night."

Thelma exclaimed: "That old fool! He's been peeing in the refrigerator again!"

A man suggests to his wife, "Darling, shall we try swapping positions tonight."

"That's a great idea," she replies. "Why don't you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and break wind."

Today

Today's early test ratings show 17 rated races from three meetings.

Have a great day's racing!

As always...

My kindest regards
