Good morning...
Another decent day, yesterday.
There were 33 rated races yesterday.
From these, in 4 of the races the top rated horse was a non-runner.
From the remaining 31 races, 8 were won by a top rated horse.
This equates to a strike rate of 25.81%
37.655 points (to ISP) were returned to the 31 points staked.
This equates to a POI (Profit on Investment) of 21.47%
Of course, this was largely helped by the 12/1 winner in the 13:55 at Sligo.
Diamonds and Gold
14:15 - Perth - Dinons - 1st @ 1.14 (1.16 BSP)
16:00 - Perth - Make my Heart Fly - NR
16:50 - Sligo - Major Destination - 2nd (Betfair paid 1.57 for the place)
17:00 - Pontefract - Silkstone - 0
Something to make you smile...
A southern farmer got in his pickup and drove several miles to a neighboring farm and knocked on the farmhouse door. A young boy, about 12, opened the door. "Is yer pa home?" he asked.
"No sir, he sure ain't," the boy replied. "He went to town."
"Well," said the farmer. "Is yer ma home?"
"No, she ain't here either. She went to town with Pa."
"Well, then, how about yer brother, Joe, is he here?"
"No sir, he went with Pa and Ma."
The farmer stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.
"Is there anything I kin do fer ya'?" inquired the young boy politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borry one; Or maybe I could take a message fer Pa."
Well," said the farmer uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to yer Pa. It's about your brother Joe getting my daughter, Pearly Mae, pregnant."
The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $250 for the boar hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Joe."
Have a great day's racing!
As always...
My kindest regards
