Morning News

Good morning...

A strange day yesterday.

Only three meetings and one of those was the first meeting at the new Great Leighs course, now known as Chelmsford City.

Now, there's no way that the ratings can cope, on the first meeting, with a new course.

We did get one Trifecta yesterday and, overall, if you had backed every top three rated horse (to £1 stakes), you'd have had £49.46 returned for an outlay of £59.00

Not profitable, I know but...

Still a pretty good indicator of the abilities of the ratings.

That aside, let's look at yesterday's results in more detail....

Yesterday's Results

Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 21.05%.

I'm not over the moon about that but I did expect some problems with Chelmsford and so I'm not too unhappy about it.

Forecasts

There were no forecasts yesterday.

Tricasts/Trifectas

There was one trifecta yesterday.

Kelso 12:40 - The Trifecta paid £21.60

Not as good as Saturday but if you'd done a Trifecta/Tricast in every qualifying race yesterday, you'd have made a profit.

Winners

From the 20 rated races there were 9 winners (from the top 3 rated horses) - 3 of those were at nice prices.

Course	Time	Horse	ISP	BSP
Fairyhouse	13:30	Rathpatrick	11.0	13.95
Chelmsford	14:20	Zac Brown	5.5	6.4
Kelso	15:10	Medicine Hat	15.0	16.96

Today

Today's 5am ratings show 14 races from 2 meetings.

So, a very quiet day for me.

Plumpton 13:20 - Our top rated horse, Jebril, has a confidence level of 122.53% and has a going win and two going places to his credit. He is dropping 3 classes and is currently the favourite. His rating for today is 66% higher than his average rating.

I've got a whole load of articles primed and ready to publish - expect something today.

Oh, one last thing; thank you for some of the recent emails suggesting improvements and strategies - I'll be answering those emails today (I've sort of been avoiding emails and other distractions whilst I've been trying to get my head around the speed ratings.)

And, on the matter of Speed Ratings; some really weird things have been coming out of my research. Even if the Speed Ratings don't end up being much use in themselves, the additional data that is coming out of the process of producing them may end up raising a few eyebrows.

So, as always...

Have a great day's racing!

Once again, if you've got anything to say about Focus Ratings, please wander over to Focus Ratings Review and have your say.

As always...

My kindest regards
