Starting 1st September 2026, we are going to simplify our presentation and ask Archimedes the Arthritic Intelligence machine to make six selections based on its vast knowledge of the interweb, water polo, racing, and the mysteries of organised religion. We wish humanity well.

The rest of the ratings are based on a mix of various data points, and their performance and/or reliability can be seen in the accompanying stats. Of course they won’t all win or be placed - but at least you have a fighting chance of narrowing the search for your holiday money.


Yesterday’s results:

  • Call To Action (IRE) — Beverley 16:18 · won at 5/1

  • Mohaab — Sandown 17:10 · 6th of 11 at 9/2 (below-5/1 win-only, no return)

  • Massimo Blue — Yarmouth 13:56 · 4th of 12 at 9/4F (below-5/1 win-only, no return)

  • Cabeza De Llave — Sandown 13:45 · 4th of 10 at 10/1

  • She’s A Goldigger — Beverley 17:50 · 8th of 10 at 15/2

  • Casilli — Beverley 17:20 · 9th of 10 at 4/1

Running total for Today’s Selections (from 1 September 2026):

  • Yesterday: 6R - 1W - 0P - P&L: -1.00pts

  • Since 1 Sept: 89R - 10W - 10P - P&L: -79.17pts
