Morning News

Good morning...

A far better day, yesterday...

Although still nothing to write home about.

Once again, blindly backing the top rated horse in the non-handicap races was profitable - yesterday you would have made a profit of 32.69%.

We also got two out of two for our First Page Strategy.

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 25.81%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 26.47% from all 34 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 58.57 units returned to 93 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -37.02%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.5 units returned to 31 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -20.97%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 8 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 22.69 units returned to 31 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -26.81%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the third rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 11.38 units returned to 31 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -63.29%

Something to make you laugh

Gambling Problem

When I go to casinos, the most ridiculous sign I see is the one that says: "If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER."

I thought about it for a moment and dialed the number. When they answered I said, "I have an ace and a six. The dealer has a seven. What do I do?"

Today

Today's early test ratings show 27 rated races from four meetings.

Have a great day's racing!

As always...

My kindest regards
