Stunning Principles

The Speed Ratings clear top rated produced a few stunning results, Saturday. It began with Tillys Tale Won 12/1, continued with Hel's Angel Won 16/1, then came Von Origny 2nd at 25/1. But the Speed Ratings left the best until last. First was joint 2nd top rated Photogenique 3rd at 80/1 - the winner was clear top rated Erzen 4/9, and the second was the other joint 2nd top Devon Native 14/1. Then came the stunning clear top rated No Principles Won 66/1 in the last race at Uttoxeter.

The combined top three of the handicap ratings and the speed ratings produced a 68% winning strike rate.

You can see an explanation of the Speed Ratings HERE. They are an addition to the handicaps at no extra cost and you can subscribe HERE. The addition of the speed ratings means that there has never been a better time to subscribe.

But the (4) and (5) UK graded races performed averagely, with seven being successful out of eleven races. Five races were won by the clear top rated and two by the 2nd top rated. Four races were unsuccessful.

Yesterdays selection also performed well -though the winning SPs were dissapointing. Aqwaal (W6/4) showed a lot of courage to win an extended battle with the runner up and needed all of the 10f to succeed. Main Aim (W2/1) produced an impressive perfomance to show that he is indeed better than handicapping class.

The each way selection, Floor Show, was never going to reach the 20/1 overnight forecast price of the Racing Post. He was a solid 8/1 in the betting and ran a good 2nd. He looked as though he would win half a furlong out but he was just outrun in the final stages. I can't help feeling that had he been drawn nearer the rail (a bias shown all night) he would have won. But he made a profit.

Sunday is a day of afternoon rest for me (visiting mother), so I will be having a quiet betting day. Back to normal for Monday.

Have a good day.
