Morning News

Good morning

In a bizarre coincidence...

Yesterday's results were exactly the same as Wednesday's results.

So, another day with 8 winners from 33 races.

How strange is that?

But I suppose that that's consistency for you!

And, yes...

For all of you who were worried about it...

The Christmas tree went up fine!

The first in the village, I believe. I wonder if I'll get a prize for that.

Yesterday's Results

Another average day, yesterday, as can be seen from the Results.

A strike rate (for the top rated horse) of 24.24% is about right.

Forecasts

There were two forecasts yesterday.

Chepstow 15:20 The CSF paid £4.87.

Kempton 17:40 The CSF paid £7.10

Tricast

There were no tricasts yesterday.

Winners

From the 33 rated races there were 18 winners (from the top 3 rated horses) - Three of these were at reasonable prices.

Course	Time	Horse	ISP	BSP
Chepstow	14:15	Flintham	5.5	6.3
Thurles	14:30	Deano	6.0	6.18
Wincanton	16:00	Positive Vibes	6.0	6.68

Once again, an average day and nothing really stands out from yesterday's results:

And finally...

Dutching

I have started the analysis of the Results spreadsheet.

I have compiled some basic information about the results of my investigations, so far but...

Rather than fill up this post with the details,

I think that it is more appropriate to create a new post that we can refer to.

So, I'll be publishing a post,this afternoon with the results of stage one of my analysis.

Today

Five meetings today and I have no reason to believe that the performance will be any different to yesterday.

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
