Sorry, Couldn't think of a title.

The week ended slowly but the final averages were reasonable. The best average was undoubtedly the clear top rated wins in the (4) and (5) graded races. Those races provided a not-to-be-sniffed at 44.7% winning strike rate.

The best news, of course, is that the losing run of the blog selections was halted on Friday and Saturday. Signs of things to come..................

The Handicap Ratings and Speed Ratings combined top three strike rate for Saturday was a low 62% following Friday's 74%, Thursday's meagre 66%, Wednesday's 72%, Tuesday's 76%, Monday's 65% and Sunday's 70% -- a final weekly average of 69%.

There were five from from seven successful (4) and (5) UK graded races, Saturday giving a 71% winning top two strike rate following Friday's 70%, Thursday's 70%, Wednesday's 40%, Tuesday's 80%, Monday's 71% and Sunday's 65% -- a final weekly average of 66.7%. The clear top rated winning strike rate, Saturday was 43% following Friday's 40%, Thursday's 50%, Wednesday's low 20%, Tuesday's 70%, Monday's 57% and Sunday's 33% -- a final weekly clear top rated strike rate of 44.7%.

The full top three summary for Saturday:

HANDICAPS
Clear top rated strike rate was 26%. Best top rated SP was 11/2
Top two strike rate (incl joints) was 44%. Best 2nd top SP was 14/1
Top three strike rate was 54%. Best 3rd top SP was 18/1

SPEED RATINGS
Clear top rated strike rate was 18%. Best top rated SP was 6/1
Top two strike rate (incl joints) was 36%. Best 2nd top SP was 14/1
Top three strike rate was 44%. Best 3rd top SP was 7/1
note: Unless there are overnight withdrawals there is always one clear top rated horse (in both services). There are never more than three horses (in either service) in the top two in any race where there are joint 2nd tops (one top rated two joint 2nd top). There are never more than four horses in the top three (in either service) in any race where there are either joint 2nd or joint third tops.

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.

Sunday's racing doesn't look like it lends itself to serious betting. I cannot, at the moment, see anything to recommend overnight. I will be leaving my own betting until closer to racetimes.

Have a relaxing day.
