Good morning...
Well...
I didn't seem to get as much done last week that I had hoped for.
So, I'll need to catch up this week.
Today I'll be installing some of the automation stuff that I wrote last week.
This means that, from tomorrow, the Morning News will look a bit different and...
I'll have more time to get on with the important things.

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 rated races today.
There are no international Group, Graded or Listed races showing up for the next few days.
However, I will keep my eyes open.
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.

Something to make you smile...
Things That Took Me Fifty Years To Learn!!
1.) Never under any circumstances take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2.) If you have to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings".
3.) There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".
4.) People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5.) And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
6.) You should not confuse your career with your life.
7.) No matter what happens... somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
8.) When trouble arises & things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution & is willing to take command. Very often, that person is crazy.
9.) Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
10.) A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
11.) Never lick a steak knife.
12.) Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.
13.) "The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
14.) You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
15.) Your REAL friends still love you anyway.
Today
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
My kindest regards
