Better late then never :)

Hey All,

Sorry about the delays, I lost a lot of time the last few days looking at ways to automate my ratings more via excel and access, it's not easy but I am making progress.

Before I put up the results I need to confess that I just found a mistake in the Melbourne Only spreadsheet - I wasn't summing all the fields and as a result the profit on the quinellas and exactas has fallen away sorry about that - I will be more aware of it in the future. They are still in the black though :)

Ok, results - just the 3 winners but all at nice overs

Hawkesbury Race 7 - Testimonial Won at $18.30 (rated at $2.80)
Flemington Race 8 - Zupacool Won at $9.10 (rated at $2.50)
Belmont Race 5 - Ma Ma Machine Won at $3.40 (rated at $2.30)

Leading to ...

Overall for Saturday

Out - $728
In - $1179
Profit - $451
Quinella Lost $86
Exacta Lost $176
Trifecta Lost $675

Melbourne Only for Saturday

Quinella Profit $196 (POT 12.50%)
Exacta Profit $444 (POT 14.15%)
Trifecta Loss $2014 (LOT 21.38%)

Overall Melboure Only

Out - $5123
In - $5014
Loss - $109 (LOT 2.13%)
Quinella Profit $105 (POT 11.46%)
Exacta Profit $98 (POT 5.30%)
Trifecta Profit $277 (POT 5.01%)

Best thing about the weekend was that the LOT % on the ratings themselves came back a bit to less than 5% - when you consider that I can probably find 8 - 10% by getting best price instead of NSW Tab that's very encouraging.

As to the Ratings Challenge - I've fallen back a bit further behind Len and been passed by Cabbie who moves to second.

Here's the table at the half way point

1 - Len $926.25
2 - Cabbie $426.55
3 - Me $340.76

4 - John L ($95.48)
5 - Ken ($401.02)
6 - John D ($1334.51)

Well that's done, apologies again for the delays

Enjoy the rest of your week :)
