Good morning...
Well, I don't know what to say about yesterday.
I don't actually think that there is anything to say.
It's been suggested to me that Saturday's strange results were down to the rain, which caused a change of going at Doncaster.
Perhaps yesterday was similar.
So, let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....
Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 12.5%.
Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 12.12%.
Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 14.29% from all 35 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 61.81 units returned to 93 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -33.54%
Top Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the top rated horses from 32 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 16.15 units returned to 32 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -49.53%
2nd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the second rated horses from 30 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 23.56 units returned to 30 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -21.47%
3rd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the third rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 22.1 units returned to 31 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -28.71%

Suspension
At a college with a shady reputation, the new dean responded to investigations into the basketball team by suspending any basketball player who wasn't maintaining a passing average.
Furious, the coach came storming into the dean's office, followed by one of his star players.
"You can't keep him from playing!" the coach roared. "We won't win this weekend without him!"
"I don't care," the dean said. "Things have gotten out of hand at this college."
"What do you mean, out of hand?" the coach demanded.
"I'll show you what I mean," the dean said. He turned to the basketball player and said, "Tell me,how much is six times seven?"
The player thought for several seconds. Then he said, "Thirty-one?"
The dean turned to the coach and said, "I rest my case."
"Oh, come on now," the coach said. "Why are you making such a big deal of it? After all, he only missed it by one."
Today's early test ratings show 21 rated races from three meetings.
Have a great day's racing!
As always...
My kindest regards
