Morning News

Good morning...

So, I take a day off and we have an excellent day.

Is there a correlation there; should I take a day off more often?

Here are the headlines...

Our top rated horse won 43.75% of all the races.

If you'd backed the top rated horse (to £1 stakes), in every race, you'd had have £48.86 returned for an outlay of £32.

There were 5 Forecasts; if you had done the £1 forecast on every race it would have cost you £32 and you'd have had £70.82 returned.

There was 1 Tricast; if you had done the £1 tricast on every race it would have cost you £32 and you'd have had £55.48 returned.

There's so much to say about yesterday so, let's look at yesterday's results in more detail....

Today

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

I'm not going to do any analysis today as I really need to get on with the Speed Ratings.

There was a major breakthrough, yesterday and I'll have something to say about that later on.

Thank you to all of you who offered suggestions; the solution is far easier than I anticipated; as is often the case when you stand back and look at things logically.

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
