Morning News

Good morning...

An average day for us, especially coming off the 43.75% day that we had on Sunday.

All the May bank holidays are over and the next one isn't until July so it's back to work for me.

Today I shall be looking at the Systems Selections code as a couple of you reported errors yesterday (but, interestingly, not the same errors.)

Anyway, that's for later, 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 24.32%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.68%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 24.39% from all 41 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 113.17 units returned to 108 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 4.79%

Top Rated Horse - There were 9 winners from the top rated horses from 37 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 31.55 units returned to 37 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -14.73%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the second rated horses from 36 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 28.37 units returned to 36 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -21.19%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the third rated horses from 35 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 53.25 units returned to 35 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 52.14%
