No blog for Sunday so a weekend summary.

SATURDAY

The Handicap Ratings and Speed Ratings combined top three strike rate for Saturday was 74% following Friday's 72% (one clear 2nd top speed rated was Sheila's Castle 3rd at 80/1), Thursday's 69%, Wednesday's 67% (winners including clear top speed rated Dakiyah Won 25/1), Tuesday's 74%, Monday's 70% and Sunday's 85%, a weeklyaverage of 73%.

There were also five non-UK races (three from Ireland and two from the USA) that produced a 100% top three strike rate (80% top two and 40% top rated) on both the ratings and the (4) and (5) graded races.

There were eight (4) and (5) UK graded races, Saturday with a 50% top two winning strike rate. three were won by the clear top rated horse, one was won by the clear 2nd top rated. Four races were unsuccessful.

SUNDAY

The Handicap Ratings and Speed Ratings combined top three strike rate for Sunday was 75%.

There were also nine non-UK races, Sunday (two from France and seven from Ireland) that produced a 55% top two win strike rate and a 44% top rated strike rate on the ratings and one from one (4) and (5) grade race win (top rated).

There were four (4) and (5) UK graded races, Sunday with a 75% top two winning strike rate. three were won by the clear top rated horse and one race was unsuccessful.

If a horse isn't in the top three rated of the handicaps or the speed ratings, then it is highly likely it won't win.

Over the next week or two I will be posting a series of articles to answer questions posed to me about various aspects of racing and betting. Questions I will attempt to answer using my long experience will include:

• Which are the best races to bet;
• Which are the best tracks to bet at;
  
• When is the best time to bet.
  
• How is a handicap or a speed rating compiled.
• How do you decide which horses from a trainer in form are the ones to bet and which aren't.

Over the weeks I will also answer other questions and some not yet posed. I won't be posting the articles daily but every other day depending on time being available. So keep visiting.
