Morning News

focus-ratings-mornoing newsGood morning...

A rather decent day for us yesterday and...

A nice start to the month.

I am aware that the ratings were slightly late yesterday and, today and tomorrow I shall be implementing some changes which will ensure that the basic ratings come at at 9:15am with the speed ratings, expert ratings and system selections also coming out earlier.

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 28.57%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 30.23%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.91% 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 108.16 units returned to 120 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -9.87%

Top Rated Horse - There were 12 winners from the top rated horses from 42 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 48.85 units returned to 42 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, 16.31%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the second rated horses from 39 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 28.31 units returned to 39 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -27.41%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 39 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 31 units returned to 39 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -20.51%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 14 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 4 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 28.57%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 20.75 units returned to 14 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, 48.21%
