Morning All,
Another summer almost done - hopefully the warm, not too hot, weather hangs about for a few more weeks.
I've spent a lot of the week playing around with the ratings - not how they are worked out, I'd be mad to change that after last week - more so around how I get the figures into excel where I manipulate them. It's almost worked, definitely sped things up but there's a little more to do.

How it's meant to work :)
Morning All
Ripper day yesterday, if only I had the bank established and was actually betting on them!!! - that's a bit off yet unfortunately :(
Horses are hitting their peaks around their target races which means the form is really starting to stand up - these are the type of numbers that make continuing a certainty :)
Here's the figures
Race 1
2 Aichi $1.6 - Won @ $1.70 * $62 = $105.40
6 Kings Farewell $12.5 2nd (no bet)
1 Cocinero $15.1 (no bet)
5 Lancet $17.8 Lost $5
4 Aztec Smytzer $19.7 Lost $5
Race 2
1 Beaming $4.1 (no bet)
8 Damselfly $4.1 Won @ $5.40 * $24 = $129.60

7 Rostova $5.1 (no bet)
4 Rarefied $6.7 Lost $14
1 Real Saga $13.1 (no bet)
13 Irish Lights $13.4 Lost $7
Race 8

9 Delyara $2.6 Lost $38
4 Prima Nova $7.8 (no bet)
2 Flying Ruby $9.4 2nd (no bet)
13 Symphony Miss $16.8 Won @ $9.50 (no bet)
5 Dane Julia $24.5 3rd (no bet)
In - $926.60 Out - $448 Profit - $478.60 :)
17 Jan - $451.10 Profit
24 Jan - $356 Loss
31 Jan - $38.20 Profit
8 Feb - $419 Loss
14 Feb - $93.20 Profit
21 Feb - $478.60 Profit
Overall - $286.10 Profit
It's important to note these figures are a bit out because I only looked at the those under $10 for the first 3 weeks. I don't want to change the figures because the rest of my top 5 weren't posted and I'd rather stay with those that were, even though the overall profit figure would most likely improve. Also, these are based on TAB prices so you could probably get 5 - 10% better just by shopping around.
I'm pretty happy with the numbers, the 2 wipe outs are obviously a concern but it looks like the tweaks I've put in place will hopefully help avoid them in the future.
Anyways, enjoy the rest of your weekend / your week - I'll be back next weekend

Blue Diamond Stakes Day
Morning All,
Running a little late today after a bit of a night out last night - it's day like today I wish I was younger and recovered like I did in the past :(
I've decided not to update the trifecta results, looking back I wasn't posting the top 5 all along so the ratings weren't out there to check.
It's a great days racing today and I'm really looking forward to it - little bit of work to do to get the ratings done though.

Patchy but a win, well yesterday anyway
Hey All,
Took me a while to get around to writing this, I knew the ratings had finished in front just wasn't sure how much. Now I know - $93.20 - so not a lot, but not bad either.
Here are the results to date
17 Jan - $451.10 Profit
24 Jan - $356 Loss
31 Jan - $38.20 Profit
8 Feb - $419 Loss
14 Feb - $93.20 Profit
Overall - $192.50 Loss :(
Nothing like consistency is there :)
Anyways, I'll try and keep them going for a bit and see where I end up at the end of February. From there I can do some more refining and see if I'll continue or not.
Here's yesterday's figures
Race 2
8 Centurytwentyone $1.5 Won @ $3.90 * $66 - $257.40
11 Burbonstreetblues $18.5 lost $5
5 Cohort $22.5 No bet
6 Itstheone $25.0 No bet
2 Rumbird $27.8 No bet
Race 3
9 Confounded $4.1 lost $24

Race 7
1 Apache Cat $1.9 Won @ $5.90 * $52 - $306.80
7 Time Thief $8.2 3rd No Bet
5 Mind Your Head $13.9 Lost $7
2 Weekend Hussler $15.8 No Bet
3 Orange County $17.3 No bet
Race 8
4 Princess Marizza $2.3 Lost $43
5 Rolling Stock $8.6 Lost $11
9 Mixxer $14.8 Lost $6
7 Fifth Avenue Lady $17.7 3rd No bet
2 Partiva $18.8 No bet
Race 9
10 Flagstaff $1.8 3rd Lost $55
4 Bolle $8.3 2nd Lost $12
9 Mock $20.8 Lost $4
6 El Pretender $26.1 Lost $3
2 Road to Rock $26.9 No bet won @ $2.30
The trifectas I mentioned last week would've only returned $40.30 + $36 for the late scratching yesterday for a loss of $403.70, so that's just as patchy as the win bets, although at a guess they would be in front overall. I might have a look during the week.
I spent a few hours today looking at databases before deciding it's all too complicated - one day I'll buy one, rate every race every day (well most of them) and retire on the profits.
What a lovely dream :)

Hobart Cup Day 2009
Morning All,
Sorry for not updating things yesterday, it was all very frustrating with yet another wipe out - I need to work out if it's worth continuing with the ratings or not. They are close to the mark, but maybe not close enough to make money. I'll have a think about it this week.
Just before I post the results - it's Hobart Cup Day today, $400k in prize money up for grabs and Soul Diva looks to have an excellent each way chance - GO YOU GOOD THING!!!
Ok, enough delaying - here's the results
Race 1
3 Upstream $1.7 3rd (Lost $58)
5 Lady Rock $8.0 2nd (No bet)
2 Complete Control $12.3 (No bet)
1 Arms Wide Open $24.6 Won (No bet)
6 Miss Endeavour $37.2 (No Bet)
Race 2

Not good - interesting though, a $60 box trifecta would have seen a spend of $540 for a return of $849.60 and a profit of $309.60. Food for thought :)
Ok, better get to work - just before I go though an update on the bad news of yesterday, the death toll from the fires is now over 100 and rising - it's so so sad, my heart goes out to all those that have lost friends and loved ones :(
Cheers,
Sorry for not updating things yesterday, it was all very frustrating with yet another wipe out - I need to work out if it's worth continuing with the ratings or not. They are close to the mark, but maybe not close enough to make money. I'll have a think about it this week.
Just before I post the results - it's Hobart Cup Day today, $400k in prize money up for grabs and Soul Diva looks to have an excellent each way chance - GO YOU GOOD THING!!!

Saturday becomes Sunday
Afternoon All,
For those that don't know, Melbourne had their hottest day on record yesterday and as a result the Caulfield races were moved to today.
More importantly, and sadly, there were major bush fires in Victoria with at least 25 killed and hundreds of homes destroyed - my thoughts are with the families and friends of those that were lost, terrible stuff :(
I've rated all 9 races today - I normally stay clear of the 2 year olds without many starts but as the ones today are the big lead ups to the Blue Diamond I figured I'd include them as well.

A win is a win is a win
Morning All,
Wins in the first (well second) and last races yesterday locked in a profit of $38.20 for the ratings - only small, but as the title says - a win is a win.
It's all still a learning experience and I think I'll make some changes again next week - the big one being to go my top 5 instead of just the ones under $10. Doing so the last 2 weeks would have pulled in an extra couple of winners, yesterday's would have been Scenic Blast rated around $11 and paying around $20.
The other point to make is that I'm still using NSW Tab prices which has pros and cons, mostly cons though. Lower prices mean I've missed backing a couple of losers but also that I'm getting less about my winners. If and when I do start actually backing the ratings I won't be doing so on the Tab.
Ok, here's the results - once again betting to to return $100 at my rated price.
Race 1
Not Rated
Race 2
3 Hey Rosie $2.5 - No bet (price not available)
8 Wehaveadream $2.9 - $34 Won at $5.20 - Return $176.80
Race 3
6 Red Buttons $2.1 - 2nd (Lost $47)
Race 4
9 Elizabethan $3.2 (Lost $31)
4 Road to Rock $3.2 2nd (Lost $31)
8 Princess Marizza $7.4 (Lost $13)
Race 5
9 Al Omghe $3.5 (Lost $28)
3 Heart of Dreams $4.0 (Lost $25)
7 Keano $6.6 - No bet
Race 6
4 Typhoon Zed $3.0 2nd (Lost $33)
1 Apache Cat $8.3 No Bet
11 Wilander $9.4 No Bet
Race 7
13 Reverberates $4.7 (Lost $21)
5 Gold Water $4.7 (Lost $21)
4 Romneya $8.8 Won @ $5.40 - No Bet
11 Prussian Empress $9.2 (Lost $10)
Race 8
9 Ab Almalik $3.2 - $31 Won @ $6.40 - Return $198.40
8 Ma Shang $3.2 No Bet
4 Cohort $7.9 (Lost $12)
Overall In $375.20 Out $337 Profit $38.20
Just needed one of those 2nd placers to be a winner and it would've been a good day. Can't complain too much though, they are on or at least around the money so worth continuing with.
The Big 6 looks interesting and will definitely suck some punters in - the NSW Tab one across Flemington and Rosehill paid $61307 - which shows that there'll be some big money up for grabs.
Best of luck to Ben Graham and the Arizona Cardinals in the Superbowl tomorrow - go you good things!!!
