Morning News

focus-ratings-mornoing newsGood morning...

Another busy day for me yesterday as I was moving into the final stage of the Speed Ratings.

I've also made a couple of small changes to the new format PDF and I'd like to share them with you today.

And, there's a simple solution to the question of Class for Irish races.

Sometimes the simple solutions are the best.

Anyway, I'll get to that, firstly 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 33.33%.

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 67.5 units returned to 96 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, 70.31%

If you'd blindly backed the top rated horse in all the rated races, you'd have had 20.29 units returned for 31 units staked.

However, if you'd blindly backed the second rated horse in all the rated races, you'd have had 23.96 units returned for 32 units staked.

And, if you'd backed the third rated horse in every race, you'd have had 22.5 units returned for 33 units staked.

Any other business...

I am moving slowly towards getting the Speed Ratings completed and, along the way, I am adding in some of the elements that you have requested for the Winter Upgrades.

There are two changes to the new format PDF that will display the Speed Ratings.

1). Jockey Allowance - As you can see from the partial screenshot above, Jockey Weight Allowances are now shown (in brackets) after the Jockey's name.

2). Change in Class for Irish Races - Now, for UK races I currently show if a horse has changed in class since its last race. I can't do this for Irish races as there are no classes in Irish horse racing.

So, bearing in mind that UK horse racing classes are broadly aligned to the prize money on offer (or vice versa), I have decided to show the change in prize money since the horse's last race for Irish races. In the example shown, Down Ace is running in a far cheaper race than last time out.

Whether this means much in the long run, I am not too sure but it may throw up some extra winners for you.

Today

Today's 3am test ratings show 35 rated races from five meetings.

Have a great day's racing!
