Morning News

Good morning...

I finally got my main machine working and now just need to tidy up the enormous pile of bits of computer that somehow has been strewn all over the floor.

Somewhere in that pile is my original hard drive and, until I come across it I can't report on the Place Betting Strategy.

I have set myself a mission to find it before 9am!

Yesterday seemed pretty good...

A decent strike rate and one massive Trifecta.

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 31.58%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 31.71%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 30.23% from all 43 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 75.56 units returned to 113 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -33.13%

Top Rated Horse - There were 12 winners from the top rated horses from 38 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 33.81 units returned to 38 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -11.03%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the second rated horses from 37 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.87 units returned to 37 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -32.78%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the third rated horses from 38 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 16.88 units returned to 38 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -55.58%
