Morning News

Good morning...

I'm sorry that there haven't been any Morning News recently but...

I'm juggling a lot of balls at the moment and there never seems to be enough hours in the day.

However, I have invented a 25 hour day and an 8 day week and, as a result, am slowly catching up.

Yesterday was a reasonable day for the normal ratings and...

Even better for the R6 Plus ratings.

There were 7 top rated winners from the 18 rated races; this equates to a strike rate of 38.89%

19.53 points (to ISP) were returned to the 18 points staked; this equates to a POI of 8.58%

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

Anyway, I'll get to that, firstly let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....
