Morning News – 28/10/2020

Good morning...

I got a fair bit of work done on the new Builder yesterday.

Whilst it looks very similar to the old one...

Underneath the surface, there are some fundamental differences.

Now, I want to get the front end finished today so,

If you have any other idea of metrics or filters that I should add,

Now would be a good time to suggest them.

At the moment, the front end isn't connected to the back end and...

It only shows options for backing systems.

The new Builder can be seen here... Builder +

There will be a few differences to the old Builder;

The way that the statistics are calculated is different,

And you will no longer be able to share your systems.

On a different note,

It looks like France is going into lockdown again.

The President is due to make an announcement at 8pm this evening.

I'm not sure how that will affect the French horse racing.

On a totally different note...

James C. has shared with me the results of a weekend bet he had based upon the Early Bird Ratings...

Pretty impressive!

837 euros returned to a 2 euro stake.

Something to make you smile...

Pet Fish...

A redneck was stopped by a game warden in Central Mississippi recently with two ice chests full of fish. He was leaving a cove well-known for its fishing.

The game warden asked the man," Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"Naw, sir" , replied the redneck." I ain't got none of them there licenses. You must understand, these here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?"

"Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let" em swim" round for awhile. Then, when I whistle, they jump right back into these here ice chests and I take" em home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that."

The redneck looked at the warden for a moment and then said," It's the truth Mr. Government Man. I'll show ya. It really works."

"O. K.." , said the warden." I've got to see this!"

The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.

After several minutes, the warden says," Well?"

"Well, what?" , says the redneck.

The warden says," When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The FISH" , replied the warden!

"What fish?" , replied the redneck.

Moral of the story: We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we ain't as dumb as some government employees.
