Morning News

Good morning...

I can't complain about yesterday's results.

There were no major holes in the ratings and...

We made a profit for our Place Betting Strategy.

Today looks like a very similar profile to yesterday's racing so,

I hope that we can attain similar results.

Anyway, I'll get to that, 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 30.3%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 34.29%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.03% from all 37 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 121.34 units returned to 99 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 22.57%

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 53.13 units returned to 33 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 61%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the second rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.88 units returned to 31 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -32.65%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 5 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 47.33 units returned to 35 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 35.23%
