Just a heads up...

There will be no Morning News tomorrow or Sunday;

I have a massive amount of work to be done and I'd just rather start the day running.

Normal service will be restored on Monday.

Task List...

In order to be honest and truly transparent with you...

I will now be publishing my task list on the Morning News.

You will be able to see what I am working on and, more importantly, what progress I am making.

Here are the current tasks...

T01). Work out a number of strategies to utilise R9 and provide Focus Rating members free Portfolio Betting selections across a number of different betting strategies (win backing, place backing, dutching, laying and,
the other thing that I described that I don't know what it is called) on a daily basis.

T02). For Compass Ratings, display, on screen and via a email PDF, the twice weekly updated trainer/jockey win/place strike rates.

T03). For Compass Ratings, complete the eBook that explains all the weird and wonderful things that I have learned about Hong Kong Horse racing.

T04). Complete PaperTradeIt.com - a free site where you can privately log your bets and get Strike Rate, POI (to ISP and BSP) data and losing run analysis on those bets.

I'm trying to knock off the easy/quick jobs first in order to reduce the size of the list; the size of the list scares me sometimes and, believe me, I have twice as many jobs on the Admin/BAU (Business As Usual - things like automated scripts, backups and server log file analysis - stuff that all website owners have to do) task list to get through as well.

Focus Ratings

Here are the results in the Traffic Light Results PDF format... Yesterday's Traffic Light Results

Yesterday's Results, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 30%.

Yesterday's Live Ratings, show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 28.13%.

Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 28.57% from all 35 Races (including previously unrated races.)

The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 72.02 units returned to 87 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -17.22%

Top Rated Horse - There were 9 winners from the top rated horses from 30 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 29.36 units returned to 30 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -2.13%

2nd Rated Horse - There were 6 winners from the second rated horses from 28 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 31.16 units returned to 28 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, 11.29%

3rd Rated Horse - There were 2 winners from the third rated horses from 29 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 11.5 units returned to 29 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -60.34%

Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 8 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 3 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 37.5%

Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 6.03 units returned to 8 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, -24.62%

Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 8 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 6 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 75%

4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer..

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button .

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives.

7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
