Good morning...
I do have to admit that I started June with a bit of trepidation.
During the period where we had no GB or IRE racing I took advantage of the quiet time to update some of the scripts that run overnight in order to generate Focus Ratings.
Obviously, with no actual daily data coming in, there was no way to test my changes.
I fully expected a disaster once the GB and IRE racing came back.
Luckily, everything seemed to work fine (there were a few small issues but I managed to solve them before they became apparent.)
Now, I don't really want to comment too much about yesterday's racing as I've made it quite clear that I wasn't impressed with the racing at Newcastle yesterday.
However, in the second race at Newcastle our top rated horse won at 9/1 ISP (13.5 BSP)
Yesterday was a Bank Holiday over here in France (sort of.)
I say sort of because Lundi de pentecôte used to be a Bank Holiday over here in France but that nasty President Sarkozy banned it and said that we had to work instead of having a paid day off.
But we didn't like that nasty President Sarkozy and so we just ignored him and carried on with the bank holiday anyway.

I shall be starting to look for Ante Post ratings today and tomorrow.
The Perfect Woman
Adam, a very good looking successful man decided that it was his birthright to marry only a perfect and equally beautiful woman so that they would produce equally beautiful offspring.
To achieve his goal, Adam went out to explore the world and look for the woman who would meet his high standards and with whom he could spend the rest of his life.
After many months of searching on every continent, Adam came to a small farm in Switzerland and asked to stay there.
The widowed farmer warmly brought Adam home and introduced him to his three daughters.
When they entered the room, Adam was astonished by their beauty...
Each of the three daughters of the farmer was extraordinarily beautiful, and Adam decided that one of them would be his intended wife.
In the evening he told the farmer about his plans, and the happy father agreed that Adam would go on a date with each of his daughters to choose the one he liked best.
After meeting her first daughter, Adam approached her father and said: “She is really beautiful, but she has slightly crooked toes, it’s barely noticeable, but she is not for me.”
The father only shook his head, and the next evening Adam went out to meet his second daughter.
When they returned, he told her father: “She is really beautiful but has a barely noticeable lazy eye, so she is not for me.”
On the third evening, Adam went out with the third daughter and when he returned he said to the father, “She’s perfect, she’s all I was looking for and I have to marry her right away!”
The wedding was planned quickly, and a few months later, Adam’s long-awaited firstborn was born.
The new father came into the hospital room expecting to see his perfect offspring and was shocked when he saw that his child was hairy, ugly and not at all like him.
“How can it be???” he said to his father in law, standing next to him, “His mother and I are so beautiful!”
“Well,” replied the father in law, “she’s beautiful, but she was a bit pregnant when you met... really, barely noticeable...”
Medical check up...
An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam.
The doctor gave the man a jar and said, “Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.”
The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor’s office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day.
The doctor asked, what happened and the man explained. “Well, doc, it’s like this, first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin’ it between her knees, but still nothing.”
The doctor was shocked! “You asked your neighbor?”
The old man replied, “Yep, none of us could get the jar open.”
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
My kindest regards
