Morning News

Good morning...

Well, what an interesting day yesterday was.

The overall strike rate (for the top rated horse) isn't too shabby at 38.10% and...

Had you blindly backed the top rated horse in every one of the 43 races (not that I advise you to do so) you would have made a profit of about 30% on your stakes (to ISP.)

In fact,

Had you blindly done the forecast in every race you would have had £55.09 returned to your £42.00 stakes.

For more detail, here are the results in the Traffic Light Results PDF format... Yesterday's Traffic Light Results

So, overall, a pretty good day.

Today, being Sunday, is a day off for me. Last week quite a lot seemed to get done and although I still have quite a long list of things to do following the server upgrade, I am hacking my way through them.

Let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....

Something to make you smile...

Toughest Time of my Life

I recently had the toughest time of my life.

First, I got angina pectoris and then arteriosclerosis.

Just as I was recovering from these, I got tuberculosis, double pneumonia and phthisis.

Then they gave me hypodermics.

Appendicitis was followed by tonsillectomy.

These gave way to aphasia and hypertrophic cirrhosis.

I completely lost my memory for a while.

I know I had diabetes and acute ingestion, besides gastritis, rheumatism, lumbago and neuritis...

I don't know how I pulled through it.

It was the hardest spelling test I've ever had.

Today

Today's early test ratings show 20 rated races from three meetings.

Every race is rated.

Have a great day's racing!

As always...

My kindest regards
