Yesterday I spent almost all the day working on a high strike rate system to improve on the existing Place Profits strategy.
However, I also started to investigate an different approach.
I decided to look at those race types where, when the Focus Ratings (R4) top rated horse was also the Advance Ratings top rated horse had a forecast starting price of 3.50 or above.
The results were incredible.
So, over the next few days, I shall be looking at this new strategy where we can predict higher priced place winners at a reasonably high strike rate.
Focus Ratings
Yesterday's Results
Here are the results in the Traffic Light Results PDF format... Yesterday's Traffic Light Results
Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 9.09%.
Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 9.09%.
Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 9.09% from all 22 Races (including previously unrated races.)
The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 24.24 units returned to 64 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -62.12%
Top Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the top rated horses from 22 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7.91 units returned to 22 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -64.05%
2nd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the second rated horses from 20 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 8.33 units returned to 20 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -58.35%
3rd Rated Horse - There were 1 winners from the third rated horses from 22 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 8 units returned to 22 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -63.64%
Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 4 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 1 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 25%
Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 1.91 units returned to 4 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -52.25%
Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 4 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 2 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 50%

Three Wishes...
A woman was cleaning her attic with her cat by her side for company.
Amongst the boxes and old papers she found a little lamp.
She picked it up and wiped it off with her apron, when "POOF" out popped Genie.
"I will grant you three wishes" proclaimed the Genie.
The woman thought for a moment and said "I wish I was the most beautiful 20 year old woman in the world, I wish I had more money than I knew what to do with, and I wish you would turn my cat into the most handsome prince around."
The Genie nodded and after a huge cloud of dust cleared, the Genie was gone and so was the lamp.
The woman looked at herself and she was certainly beautiful.
She was surrounded with scads of money in Large Bills.
She flung an armful in the air and watched it flutter down around her.
She giggled with delight at the mountains of cash.
Then she turned to look where her adoring cat once stood.
There in the feline's place stood a tall, dark, handsome man with chiseled features, a washboard stomach, broad shoulders, and a soccer-players-tush.
She walked over to him, he put his arms around her, brushed his hand upon her cheek, looked deep into her eyes and whispered softly, "Now, aren't you sorry that you had me neutered?"
Today
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
My kindest regards
