On what was an un-inspiring Lingfield Park card on Tuesday there was an inspirational reminder of how transferable my figures are. Aware that the course was already heavy, an inspection due to take place at 6:30 a.m. and more rain due in the interim I thought I would publish figures for the first three races on the card due to be run on the turf course in the hope that they may be switched to the polytrack.
After two higher rated horses pulled out Tingo In The Tale became top rated for the race. If further endorsement of its chance were needed, Tingo was also entered to run on Wednesday at Kempton Park and Jemes Doyle interviewed for his winning ride in the previous race appeared most bullish about its chances. Tingo won by the shortest of heads.

Although Tingo In The Tail was the highest rated horse in the three turf races, further vindication of how transferable The Actuary speed ratings are could be seen to good effect in the previous race with Tweet Lady having had a luckless run coming home like the proverbial express train to finish third at 12-1.
The turf was of course my entry point all those years ago but I frequently day-dream of what life would be like if only I had the time and enthusiasm to take on such a monumental task as compiling for the turf again!
