Good morning...
There are going to be some changes starting next week...
I"ve got a lot of things that I need to put into place before GB and Irish racing come back.
From early next week, any French, American or Australian ratings will come out on 1 PDF file and will be called SpotLight Ratings.
This doesn't really affect you as, if you are a member of FocusRatings.com, a member of EarlyBirdRatings.com or PlaceProfits.com - you will get SpotLightRatings (and CompassRatings) for free.
It just makes it easier for me to put the non Hong Kong foreign ratings all on one PDF.
Compass Ratings
There are 11 races at Sha Tin on Sunday.
The link to the ratings for those races (top 3 rated) is here... http://compassratings.com/data/compassratings-2020-05-24.pdf

French Ratings

Other Ratings
I've had a scour around but I can't find any Group/Graded or Listed racing today.
There are, so far, 2 Group/Graded or Listed races in Australia on Saturday and one in America.
Here are the links to those ratings... http://spotlightratings.com/data/SpotlightRatings-2020-05-23.pdf
Something to make you smile...
Advice Required...
A wife sent her husband a romantic text message...
She wrote: “If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.
If you are laughing, send me your smile.
If you are eating, send me a bite.
If you are drinking, send me a sip.
If you are crying, send me your tears.
I love you.”
Her husband texted back: “I’m on the toilet, please advise.”
What's Next?
This morning as I was buttoning my shirt, a button fell off.
After that, I picked up my briefcase, and the handle fell off.
Then I went to open the door, and the doorknob fell off.
I went to get into my car, and the door handle came off in my hand.
Now I’m afraid to pee.
Thoughts on Coronavirus...
The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house, and their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors.
If you need 144 rolls of toilet paper for a month-long quarantine, you probably should've seen a doctor long before COVID-19.
My husband purchased a world map and then gave me a dart and said, "Throw this and wherever it lands—that's where I'm taking you when this pandemic ends." Turns out, we're spending two weeks behind the fridge.
I never thought the comment "I wouldn't touch him/her with a six-foot pole" would become a national policy, but here we are!
I washed my hands so much because of COVID-19 that my exam notes from 1995 resurfaced.
Two grandmothers were bragging about their precious darlings. One of them says to the other, "Mine are so good at social distancing, they won't even call me."
Quarantine has turned us into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We are told "no" if we get too close to strangers. And we get really excited about car rides.
Never in my life would I imagine that my hands would someday consume more alcohol than my mouth.
My mom always told me I wouldn't accomplish anything by lying in bed all day. But look at me now, ma! I'm saving the world!
After years of wanting to thoroughly clean my house but lacking the time, this week I discovered that wasn't the reason.
Day 31 of social isolation and it's looking like Las Vegas in my house: We're losing money by the minute. Cocktails are acceptable at any hour. And nobody knows what time it is.
If I keep stress-eating at this level, the buttons on my shirt will start socially distancing from each other.
Happy hour is starting earlier and earlier. If this keeps up, I'll be pouring wine in my cereal.
Anyone else's car getting three weeks to the gallon at the moment?
Day 7 at home and the dog is looking at me like, "See? This is why I chew the furniture!
Today
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
My kindest regards
