Morning News – 18/10/2020

6620418Good morning...

I spent a good part of the day, yesterday...

Working on Ante Post Ratings.

This will probably be a regular Saturday job as,

It makes sense to block out one day a week; that way it's more likely that the ratings will get done.

And, also, you will know when to expect updates.

As a result, I now have AntePost Ratings for the following races...

Ladbrooks Champion Chase – Grade 1

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Athasi Stakes – Group 3

Tattersalls 2,000 Guineas – Group 1

Tattersalls 1,000 Guineas – Group 1

I am now working on the Melbourne Cup.

Fun, fun, fun - 65 entries, all of which have to be manually rated and, to top it all, I have to do the currency conversions from Australian dollars into GB sterling as well as the normal currency conversions from Euros into pounds.

I hope that the pocket calculator is up to it?


On a different point...

Now that I've applied the new filter to Place Profits, not only are the Place selections now profitable but...

You can actually make more money by backing those self same selections to win.

Now, I don't want to come up with a hard, firm strategy for Place Profits.

Obviously I shall continue to publish the original strategy and selections and, also, the new refined strategy but...

From talking to many of you, I understand that some of you are using your own strategies based upon the basic set of selections.

From about Wednesday for next week, I shall be available on Skype/phone for an hour a day should you wish to discuss issues/strategies in a more direct way that can happen using email.

I'll publish the number (and the time slots) sometime next week.

Something to make you smile...

Three Bulls...

Three bulls heard via the grapevine that the rancher was going to bring another bull onto the ranch, and the prospect raised a discussion among them.

The first bull says, "Boys, we all know I've been here 5 years. Once we settled our differences, we agreed on which 100 of the cows would be mine. Now, I don't know where this newcomer is going to get HIS cows, but I ain't' givin' him any of mine."

The second bull says, "That pretty much says it for me, too. I've been here 3 years and have earned my right to the 50 cows we've agreed are mine. I'll fight 'im till I run him off or kill 'im, but I'M KEEPIN' ALL MY COWS."

The third bull says, "I've only been here a year, and so far you guys have only let me have 10 cows to "take care of". I may not be as big as you fellows yet, but I am young and virile, so I simply MUST keep all MY cows."

They had just finished their big talk when an eighteen-wheeler pulls up in the middle of the pasture with only ONE ANIMAL IN IT: the biggest Son-of-Another-Bull these guys had ever seen! At 4700 pounds, each step he took toward the ground strained the steel ramp to the breaking point.

The first bull says, "Ahem...You know, it's actually been some time since I really felt I was doing all my cows justice, anyway. I think I can spare a few for our new friend."

The second bull says, "I'll have plenty of cows to take care of if I just stay on the opposite end of the pasture from HIM. I'm certainly not looking for an argument."

They look over at their young friend, the third bull, and find him pawing the dirt, shaking his horns, and snorting up a storm.

The first bull says, "Son, let me give you some advice real quick. Let him have some of your cows and live to tell about it."

The third bull says, "Heck, he can have ALL my cows. I'm just making sure he knows I'M a bull!"
