31st October
Typically, BBOTD loses, though was miles ahead on the ratings. It should not have capitulated so easily!! Still, a few decent winners across the cards and a few really nice 2nd rated at decent odds also winning/placing!
Heads up - Richard will be producing the Ratings from Wednesday through to Saturday this week whilst I am ensconced in a massive case and holed up in London. I will resume from next Monday - thanks to Richard again for stepping in. I know he'll continue the good work.

11th October
Rough week all told. Lots of 14/1+ winners without any previous form or rated to win. Amazing really, but that's horse racing! We need to hunker down and hit the stop losses and minimise stakes till the impasse passes! There was a 25/1 winner today that won his first race in over 20 starts! Nothing has changed ratings wise other than the results! We'll get through it!

Morning! Firstly thanks to Richard for keep the seat warm whilst I was away. I take back the reigns on what looks like a really tricky Saturday - the going at various courses is soft and coupled with big fields, please don't judge the ratings too severely. I am sure Richard will agree that todays racing is a toughy! Its a bet BOTH and consider PLACE betting kinda day!
