6620418Good morning...

Just a heads up...

As tomorrow is Sunday there will be no Morning News (it's my day off) but, also, there might not be a Morning News on Monday or Tuesday either.

You see, it's that time of the year where the fair comes to the village and the fair makes a lot of noise until about 2am.

I normally get up at 2am.

Thus, I'm not getting much sleep.

This also means that the ratings and the various selections might be coming out a bit later than normal.

It's only for four day and only once a year and things should be back to normal on Wednesday.

Free Trial...

If you want to take a 7 day free trial of Focus Ratings, just click here... Free Trial.

You will get the Focus Ratings morning email but also the Advance Ratings email and can ask for the R9 Portfolio selections.

On top of that, you can also ask for the Hong Kong Compass Ratings and the European Spotlight Ratings...

As well as the UK & Irish Ante Post Ratings, for free...

During the period of your free trail.


Task List...

In order to be honest and truly transparent with you...

I will now be publishing my task list on the Morning News.

You will be able to see what I am working on and, more importantly, what progress I am making.

Here are the current tasks...

T01). Work out a number of strategies to utilise R9 and provide Focus Rating members free Portfolio Betting selections across a number of different betting strategies (win backing, place backing, dutching, laying and, the other thing that I described that I don't know what it is called) on a daily basis.

T02). For Compass Ratings, display, on screen and via a email PDF, the twice weekly updated trainer/jockey win/place strike rates.

T03). For Compass Ratings, complete the eBook that explains all the weird and wonderful things that I have learned about Hong Kong Horse racing.

T04). Complete PaperTradeIt.com - a free site where you can privately log your bets and get Strike Rate, POI (to ISP and BSP) data and losing run analysis on those bets.

I'm trying to knock off the easy/quick jobs first in order to reduce the size of the list; the size of the list scares me sometimes and, believe me, I have twice as many jobs on the Admin/BAU (Business As Usual - things like automated scripts, backups and server log file analysis - stuff that all website owners have to do) task list to get through as well.


Focus Ratings

Here are the results in the Traffic Light Results PDF format... Yesterday's Traffic Light Results

Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 28.57%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 25.71%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 17.65% from all 51 Races (including previously unrated races.)

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 68.01 units returned to 87 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -21.83%

Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 28 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 22.01 units returned to 28 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -21.39%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the second rated horses from 30 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 16 units returned to 30 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -46.67%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 7 winners from the third rated horses from 29 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 30 units returned to 29 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 3.45%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 8 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 2 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 25%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 3.2 units returned to 8 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -60%

Something to make you smile...


You know that you suffer from Sleep Apnea when this is actually funny...

In a philosophy class...

"What would a peaceful death be like?" asks the professor.

"The same way my grandfather died" The student replies.

"And how died your grandfather?"

"He fell asleep"

"Nice answer. And what would be a terrible death?"

"The way that my grandfather's friends died"

"And how died your grandfather friends?

"They were in the car with my grandfather when he fell asleep"
