Morning News

Good morning...

Well, a decent enough day, yesterday.

Although waking up to the referendum results sort of takes precedence to horse racing.

You'll notice that I've added a new section to the results today...

One that just looks at the non-handicap results.

And I guess that some of you may be asking me for some sort of dutching strategy for top three rated horses in non-handicap races.

After all, with yesterday's 90.91% strike rate it certainly looks tempting.

Now, I've (thanks to some suggestions from Mike C. Thanks Mike.) already been thinking about this and I believe that I can get prices (to calculate the stakes) from the Live Ratings between 15 and 5 minutes before the start of the races.

So, it should be possible.

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 28.57%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.78%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 23.81% from all 42 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 103.38 units returned to 105 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -1.54%

Top Rated Horse - There were 10 winners from the top rated horses from 35 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 35.38 units returned to 35 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 1.09%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 9 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 26 units returned to 36 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -27.78%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 5 winners from the third rated horses from 34 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 42 units returned to 34 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 23.53%

New...

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 11 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 5 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 45.45%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 10.13 units returned to 11 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -7.91%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 11 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 10 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 90.91%

Proof That Not All Ethnic Jokes Are Bad!!!

A Jewish grandmother is giving directions to her grown grandson who is coming to visit with his wife.

"You come to the front door of the apartments. I am in apartment 301. There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow, push button 301. I buzz you in. Come inside and elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow, push 3rd Floor. When you get out, I'm on the left. With your elbow, hit my doorbell. OK?"

"Grandma, that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow? ........."

"What ... You're coming empty handed?"

Irish blonde...

An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland, arrived at the casino.

She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty thousand dollars in a single roll of the dice.

She said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude."

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, "Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!"

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed. "Yes! Yes! I won, I won!" She hugged each of the dealers, picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.

Finally, one of them asked, "What did she roll?"

The other answered, "I don't know - I thought you were watching."

MORAL OF THE STORY

Not all Irish are drunks, not all blondes are dumb, ...

But all men ... Are men!
