The Ebor meeting closed with a quiet day, no fireworks or anything particularly special, but it’s been a good meeting.<\/p>\n

I made a couple of cock ups today. Went too aggressive on one market and couldn’t turn it around when it went against me,\u00a0 but I did manage to restrict the loss to only -\u00a350. Then I completely messed up the last and lost \u00a3120, not the ideal way to end, but the other races were OK. I managed to get a fair bit out of Chester today for some reason so I am hoping that continues into tomorrow. On the same day last year I didn’t do well so I am hoping to put that to rest tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Subject to how tomorrow goes I could grab by fourth best ever week and depending on how next week goes I could be on target to set my highest ever strike rate for one month. About eight weeks ago I decided to do some analysis as I noticed my strike rate was gently slipping during the year. I narrowed this down to its cause and put in corrective action.<\/p>\n

Just goes to show that no matter how experienced you are, there is always room to improve. It also shows you the importance of keeping good records. If I didn’t have such good records I may not have seen the gentle slope down or been able to identify the cause and put in corrective action.<\/p>\n

There is a really useful spreadsheet on the forum<\/a> for keeping track of your results. It’s worth investing some time to use it start keeping track of your results. It will quickly highlight your strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n
