Morning News

Good morning...

Well, what a strange day yesterday was.

An excellent strike rate for the top rated horse but a total washout for the First Page Strategy.

I'll be watching today's racing very closely to see how the selections fare...

The historical strike rate of just under 35% shouldn't really show up a zero from five day too often.

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 30.3%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.41%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 29.41% from all 34 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 70.04 units returned to 96 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -27.04%

Top Rated Horse - There were 10 winners from the top rated horses from 33 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 28.83 units returned to 33 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -12.64%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the second rated horses from 33 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 11.46 units returned to 33 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -65.27%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the third rated horses from 30 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 29.75 units returned to 30 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -0.83%

Something to make you laugh

Signs to Hang in the Office

I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.

On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.

I have not yet begun to procrastinate.

I don't suffer from stress. I'm just a carrier.

Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.

Someday we'll look back on all this and plow into a parked car.

Today

Today's early test ratings show 40 rated races from six meetings.

Have a great day's racing!

As always...

My kindest regards
