+ possibly 2:40 doncaster – FLUFF ‘N’ PUFF – Aston this is joint top-rated – do these count or not?
After Tuesday –
1. Aston sel’s 9/28 p/l +16.38pts %p/l +58.48% <br>2. Letsgetracing sel’s 1/10 p/l +5pts %p/l +50% <br>3. Grasshopper sel’s 4/20 p/l +7.57pts %p/l +37.85% <br>4. Empty Wallet sel’s 3/10 p/l +3.75pts %p/l +37.5% <br>5. Lookingforawinner sel’s 4/18 p/l +2pts %p/l +11.11%
Only Lookingforawinner has had a selection since Saturday and, with three losers, he’s beginning to find himself tailing off. However, as we have seen already, it only takes a winner or two to change matters so lots of time yet.

After Wednesday
1. Aston sel’s 9/28 p/l +16.38pts %p/l +58.48% <br>2. Letsgetracing sel’s 1/10 p/l +5pts %p/l +50% <br>3. Grasshopper sel’s 4/20 p/l +7.57pts %p/l +37.85% <br>4. Empty Wallet sel’s 3/10 p/l +3.75pts %p/l +37.5% <br>5. Lookingforawinner sel’s 4/19 p/l +1pts %p/l +5.26%
Yet again Lookingforawinner is the only one to beat the freeze but, unfortunately, he fails to capitalise and slips further behind. It could be that just one good winner is all that’s going to be put one of the quintet into an unassailable lead.

Results after Thursday –
1. Aston sel’s 10/30 p/l +17.63pts %p/l +58.76% <br>2. Letsgetracing sel’s 1/10 p/l +5pts %p/l +50% <br>3. Grasshopper sel’s 5/23 p/l +9.07pts %p/l +39.43% <br>4. Empty Wallet sel’s 3/11 p/l +2.75pts %p/l +25% <br>5. Lookingforawinner sel’s 4/20 p/l +/-0pts %p/l +/-0%
Nice winners for both Aston and Grasshopper keep them rolling along nicely, with Aston in particular keeping up that very impressive strike rate. Empty Wallet struck out with his only runner of the day while Lookingforawinner is now struggling to stay profitable. Lots to play for yet though as one good winner could turn the table on it’s head.
Selections for Friday
Empty Wallet –
Wolves 3.50 Lateral Thinker unp
Letsgetracing –
Warwick 4.15 Oasis Banus unp
Lookingforawinner –

(Edited by cormack15 at 4:57 pm on Feb. 25, 2005)
just a quick confirmation for Aston and Grasshopper that…
1) figures as per cormack’s update are correct (although i have grasshopper at 58.75%, but that’s just pedantic)
2) no runners on friday!

Results after Friday
1. Aston sel’s 10/30 p/l +17.63pts %p/l +58.76% <br>2. Grasshopper sel’s 5/23 p/l +9.07pts %p/l +39.43% <br>3. Letsgetracing sel’s 1/11 p/l +4pts %p/l +36.44% <br>4. Empty Wallet sel’s 3/12 p/l +1.75pts %p/l +14.58% <br>5. Lookingforawinner sel’s 5/21 p/l +2.75pts %p/l +13.09%
Much needed winner for Lookingforawinner brings him back into contention while Letsgetracing slips from 2nd to 3rd leaving Grasshopper the nearest pursuer to Aston who now looks like he will take a bit of catching.<br>
Grass – The winner is the person with the best Profit % measured against turnover. Yours is currently +39.43%. In other words you’ve invested 23 pts and made a profit of 9.07 pts which is +39.43%. This is the last column in the score table.
Measuring return on investment in this way provides the best long term test of a systems profitability, better than the straight number of points profit as that could simply go to a system which had lots of runners. Strike rate is also problematic as that could simply go to the system picking those at shortest prices.
