Going into today he was 1/29 winners and 6/58 with places. He was 0.29 A/E. All for the last 28 days.
Beef or Salmon (11th January 2021)
I'd backed the top 2 off my card but I thought it was gonna be Kevin The Minion's race re my numbers and weighted on that but that gives poss explanation as to why my 2nd choice made all nearly.

Are they your own ratings?
E.g. For the "Going Suitability Rating" I took the approach I use to determine whether I think a horse can perform on the going via it's previous runs and converted that to a computer algorithm which spits out a number at the end. This means I can assess every horse running in each race in UK/IRE each day and do so consistently and quickly compare one against another in a race.
If blindly backing any that were stand alone top rated for that rating it would result, over 20 yrs of data, a strike of 25% and an roi -15%. For comparison to do so with the OR would result in a strike of 22% and roi -16%.
Hence you don't use these things in isolation.
I like to look at trends on big races as well but I know you love them......

THOR DE CERISY
Leicester 13 January 221
Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle
1m7½f, Class 3, £5,913.18
Going: Heavy
The first two had been prominent throughout the latter half, but Thor de Cerisy only appeared on the scene approaching the second last. He was still two lengths down over the last, but put the pedal down and was closing rapidly with the first two running along the rail with plenty of space. Unfortunately the second started hanging left and leaning into the eventual winner forcing him closer to the rail and shutting the door for Thor de Cerisy who had to make a very sharp jink into open space. He keep closing, but went down by a head and a neck.
The stewards had this to say: “Inside the final furlong, THOR DE CERISY (FR), placed third, was forced to switch right-handed for clear running when both SAN SEB (GER), placed second, and the winner WHEN YOU’RE READY (IRE), shifted left-handed when clear of him on to the rail, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of SAN SEB (GER) or WHEN YOU’RE READY (IRE)”
They may be right, but I think Thor de Cerisy was an unlucky loser.

Ghost Rider which I'd mentioned the other day has come up on my watch list as running at Southwell tomorrow in the 13:35.
I was going to write up Imperial Alcazar, but I can’t bring myself to re-visit a race where we lost both Ardlethen and Espion.

TIMELESS BEAUTY
Ayr 19 January 2021
Support The Injured Jockeys Fund Mares' Handicap Hurdle (Northern Lights Mares' Hurdle Series Qual')
2m5½f, Class 5, £2,794.14
Going: Heavy
Warren Greatrex sent her all the way to Ayr for her first handicap run in a tin-pot little race where the winner’s prize wouldn’t go far towards the £100,000 she cost. Not much of a surprise, then, that she outclassed the field and won with ease. Unless the handicapper goes barmy I think there should be more to come at this level - maybe even before he gets his chance if she eats up well!
