There were no selections today, so I thought I should provide a brief update on how the system has performed since the thread started, as it can be confusing due to the high strike rate and the variable staking plan.
Total Stakes: 95 pts – Total Returns: 99 pts – Profit: 4 pts – Return On Investment 4.2%
The system has therefore achieved the first stated aim to produce around a 90% strike rate, but has fallen short of the ROI target of 10%, albeit at least it has produced a profit in the first week and to be fair a sample size of 10 bets is rather low to be drawing too many conclusions.
Hopefully, there will be some selections tomorrow.
As you can see from my earlier post, whilst I was fairly confident that IL ETAIT TEMPS would convert his penalty kick, I was not expecting HAITI COULEURS to score points this time.
I reckon he will be awarded a career best hurdles RPR of around 150 for this victory, which is a 14 lbs improvement on his previous best over the small obstacles.
If he can achieve a similar improvement over fences next time, hopefully in the Coral Gold Cup he should go close, but will still need to find at least another 14 lbs improvement to win either of his trainer’s stated end of season target races, namely the Cheltenham Gold Cup and/or Grand National, which are the races that I chose him to cover.
I have HAITI COULEURS and IL ETAIT TEMPS running for my TTF team today.
At long odds on in a Grade 2 event the latter will hopefully give me a handful of points to get me started, but not expecting anything from the first named as this is clearly a pipe opener over hurdles, before he reverts back to fences.
