Morning News

focus-ratings-mornoing news Good morning...

Yesterday I managed to work until lunchtime before...

Temptation struck,

And I gave in to the irrisstable urge to spend the afternoon in the garden

I did take a notebook and a tablet with me but...

If I said that I used them to carry on working in the sunshine,

I'd actually be lying.

Focus Ratings

Another good day for Forecasts at Focus Ratings yesterday...

And that generally indicates a good day for the ratings,

Which it certainly was.

Compass Ratings

There is no more racing in Hong Kong until Saturday 5th of September.

Many thanks to Chris D for reminding me of this.

During the quiet period...

I'll start looking at some of the statistics for the races so far this year.

Spotlight Ratings

There are no Spotlight Ratings today.

I am only interested in rating the quality races and thus...

Am resisting the temptation to rate any old race that comes along.

Ante Post Ratings

Later this week I shall be rating (well in advance) any decent races that need to be rated as part of my Ante Post Ratings service.

Obviously, you as Focus Ratings members will get access to these ratings for free.

I will be spending one day next week updating the Ante Post Ratings.

Place Profits

There were no Place Profits selections yesterday.

The recent results be seen here... http://placeprofits.com/results/

Something to make you smile...

Indecent Exposure...

The Sheriff in a small town walks out in the street and sees a blonde cowboy coming down the walk with nothing on but his cowboy hat, gun and his boots,
so he arrests him for indecent exposure.

As he is locking him up, he asks "Why in the world are you walking around like this?"

The Cowboy says, "Well it's like this Sheriff . I was in the bar down the road and this pretty little red head asks me to go out to her motor home with
her. So I did. We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull off my shirt... so I did. Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my pants so I did. Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my shorts ...so I did.

Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of sexy and says, 'Now go to town cowboy... '.

"And here I am."
