Morning News

Good morning...

Well, a bit of a return to form with a nice 36.74% strike rate for our top rated horse.

There were no PBS selections so we're still running at 14 points profit after a week into the month.

13 winners from 19 races (for the top three rated horses) shows that we're pretty much on course.

Now, on the sidebar of the site, there is a link to archive ratings (where you can go back and look at any rating in any format going back about 3 year.)

I am taking this link offline today and will be replacing it on Monday with a link to a different page that packages the old PDFs and CSV files in a different way.

The reason for this is that I generate, on average, about 40 of these files each day and, over time, they add up.

There are so many now that your browser will time out if you try to browse them.

I'm going to zip them up into monthly packages for you to download, should you wish to do so.

Anyway, I'll get to that, firstly let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....

Some of Life's Reflections

Never raise your hands to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected.

I'm not into working out. My philosophy is no pain, no pain.

I'm in shape. Round is a shape.

I'm desperately trying to figure out why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.

Ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you, but when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window?

Ever notice that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

You have to stay in shape. My mother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we have no idea where she is.

I have six locks on my door, all in a row. When I go out, I lock every second one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three of them.

One out of every three Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of two of your best friends. If they are OK, then it must be you.

They show you how detergents take out bloodstains. I think if you've got a T-shirt with bloodstains all over it, maybe your laundry isn't your biggest problem.

Ask people why they have deer heads on their walls and they tell you it's because they're such beautiful animals. I think my wife is beautiful, but I only have photographs of her on the wall.

A lady came up to me on the street, pointed at my suede jacket and said, "Don't you know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" I said "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll have to kill you too."

Today

Today's early test ratings show 26 rated races from four meetings.

Have a great day's racing!

Once again, if you've got anything to say about Focus Ratings, please wander over to the Focus Ratings Review at Tipsters Review and have your say.

The income that we make from sign ups from that site keeps me in Red Wine and Smelly Cheese!
