Morning News – 19/10/2020

6620418Good morning...

I have finished the Ante Post Ratings for the Melbourne Cup and...

Am just starting to work on the King George IV stakes.

That one is going to be a bit difficult and will need to be updated at the end of next month.

However, I have also got 3 French races to compile the ratings for, for tomorrow's Spotlight Ratings and they have to take priority.

If there are any interesting races coming up, over the next few months, that you want Ante Post Ratings for, just let me know.

I seem to have got into a rhythm where I getting things done but I may have to limit Spotlight Ratings to 20 races a week.

Obviously I already only look at Graded, Group and Listed races but we seem to do better in Japan and France so perhaps it's best to concentrate on them to start with.

If there are foreign high quality races that you are interested in, just let me know and I'll try to look out for them to compile ratings for.


I've been receiving a high number of emails from people asking me to add them to this service or that service.

But it has become apparent that a high number of people aren't aware of what they are entitled to.

So, a major job for me today is to create a post which explains who gets what, how much it costs and what they get for free.

I'll make it a sticky post so that it'll show up on the front page of the website - just above that post where I waffle on about "Why a PMU ain't your average Bookies Shop."

I'll email you all once that post has been created/published.


Place Profits

As you are aware, I have adjusted one of the four filters (you can see how I created the system here ) for Place Profits.

However, I would like to take a fresh look at the strategy.

I intend to do that in public.

So, we have the original strategy which worked fine for 2018 and 2019 and worked well in 2020 until the 23rd of March when GB (and IRE) racing shut down.

Since the resumption of GB and IRE racing the results haven't been as expected.

I have adjusted one filter for the original system in order to revert us back to profits but..

I think that now is the time to take another look at Place Profits and see if we can come up with an even better strategy.

Something to make you smile...

Donald Trump met the Queen...

Donald Trump met with the Queen of England, and politely asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give me?"

"Well," replied the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."

Trump frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around you are really intelligent?"

The Queen took a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle."

The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please send Boris Johnson in here, would you?"

The Prime Minster walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?"

The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this, if you would, Boris. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"

Without pausing for a moment, he answered, "That would be me."

"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.

Trump went back home to ask Mike Pence the same question. “ Mike, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"

"I'm not sure," said Pence. "Let me get back to you on that one." He went to his advisers and asked everyone, but none could give him an answer.

Finally, Pence ran in to his friend Jack Murphy in a restaurant the next night. Pence asked, "Jack, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Jack Murphy answered right back, "That's easy, it's me!"

Pence smiled, and said, "Thanks!"

Pence then went back to speak with Trump. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle: It's my friend Jack Murphy!"

Trump got up, stomped over to Pence, and angrily yelled, "No, you idiot! It's Boris Johnson!"


So Donald Trump went to visit the Queen of England the other day...

Donald trump went to visit the Queen of England the the other day, he says to her:

"I'd like to change the name of the United States to the Empire of the United States."

She says "no I'm sorry sir, for you to have an empire you'd need to be an emperor, and you sir are no emperor."

So Trump asks... "well how about the Kingdom of the United States?"

The Queen says "no, I'm sorry sir, for you to have a kingdom you must be a king, and you sir are no king"

Trump goes "well what then?"

The Queen thinks for a while and says...

"I think it would be best if you stayed a country."
