Morning News

Good morning...

I haven't got much to say about yesterday's results as...

There really isn't much to say.

There were no PBS selections although I guess I could mention that, had you done the forecast in every race you would have had £104.66 returned to £32 staked.

In any case, I am still in IT hell and there are bits of computer strewn everywhere.

So, I'd better get on and try to sort it all out but, firstly 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 21.88%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.53%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 22.86% 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 71.57 units returned to 96 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -25.45%

Top Rated Horse - There were 7 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 36.44 units returned to 32 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 13.88%

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 7.68 units returned to 33 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -76.73%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 6 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 27.45 units returned to 31 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -11.45%

Something to make you laugh

One from David O...

ITALIAN MAMA

Mrs. Ravioli comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner.

He lives with a female roommate, Maria.

During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Anthony's roommate is.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Anthony and his roommate than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Maria and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Maria came to Anthony saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

"Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote an email:

Dear Mama,

I'm not saying that you "did" take the sugar bowl from my house; I'm not saying that you "did not" take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.

Your Loving Son,

Anthony

A few days later, Anthony received a response email from his Mama which read:

Dear son,

I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Maria, and I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.

Your Loving Mama

Moral...

Never Bulla Shita your Mama!

Today

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

Have a great day's racing!

As always...

My kindest regards
