A starter for 10…

from the Press Challenge TAble on the RP website.

The record of favourites this year is:

2656-7195 Return on Outlay 94.65%

and this month

89-230 1pt Level Stake Return -1.59 Return On Outlay 99.30%

If anything that suggests that results over the last ten days have been in favour of the backer compared to the norm.

An overall annual return losing a shade over 5% suggests a market which is generally predictive of the result. The betting market is a negative expectation market, but it doesn’t look excessively negative at this time.

I note from the RP Nap Table that Doug Moscrop is currently showing a profit of 57.85pts to a 1pt level stake over the year. That is impressive, but having had the pleasure of briefly chatting to and doing much listening to Doug Moscrop at Sedgefield one day it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. In excess of 20% profit from a single selection per day over 9 months is solid selecting, and even more so given that the selections are in the public domain.
