Morning News – 15/02/02021

6620418Good morning...

I do have to apologise...

I realised that I forgot to mention on Tuesday that yesterday was a bank holiday in France and, thus, a day off for me.

Thus, no Morning News yesterday.

It's the first time that I've seen the village really come to life for over a year.

4 of the 5 R9 Portfolio Place selections were successful yesterday.

2.077 points profit would have been made to the 5 points staked.

I have realised that I am going to go back though the last year's selections manually to provide some historical detail.

I shall start that today.


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 14.63%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 15.91%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 13.33% from all 45 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 112.47 units returned to 124 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -9.3%

Top Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the top rated horses from 41 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 37.33 units returned to 41 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -8.95%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 10 winners from the second rated horses from 42 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 53.85 units returned to 42 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 28.21%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the third rated horses from 41 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 21.29 units returned to 41 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -48.07%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 14 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 2 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 14.29%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 7.08 units returned to 14 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -49.43%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 14 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 9 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 64.29%

Something to make you smile...


Many thanks to Mike D. for these ditties...

Don’t be worried about your smartphone or TV spying on you. Your vacuum cleaner has been collecting dirt on you for years.

If you can’t think of a word say “I forgot the English word for it.” That way people will think you’re bilingual instead of an idiot.

I’m at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out.

I’m getting tired of being part of a major historical event.

I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do it’s because I missed my exit.

Ate salad for dinner. Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce, and cheese. FINE, it was a pizza. OK, I ate a pizza! Are you happy now?

I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.

I don't mean to brag, but I finished my 14-day diet food supply in 3 hours and 20 minutes.

Senility has been a smooth transition for me.

Remember back when we were kids and every time it was below freezing outside they closed school? Yeah, Me neither.

I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented. I forgot where I was going with this.

I love approaching 80, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things.

A thief broke into my house last night. He started searching for money so I got up and searched with him.

I think I'll just put an "Out of Order" sticker on my forehead and call it a day.

Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.

Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house.

It’s weird being the same age as old people.

When I was a kid I wanted to be older. This is not what I expected.

Life is like a helicopter. I also don’t know how to operate a helicopter.

It’s probably my age that tricks people into thinking I’m an adult.

Marriage Counsellor: Your wife says you never buy her flowers. Is that true? Me : To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.

Never sing in the shower! Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So remember … Don’t sing!

I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.

So if a cow doesn’t produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure?

I’m at that age where my mind still thinks I’m 29, my humor suggests I’m 12, my body mostly keeps asking if I’m sure I’m not dead yet.

You don’t realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
