I'd like to thank those of you who have emailed to to comment on Place Profits.
I am becoming more and more convinced that a strategy where higher priced horses are used is a good way of complementing our current strategy.
I'll take another look at that later on but...
This is going to be a shortish Morning News as I have to rush to get tomorrow's Hong Kong ratings done and,
I've also got 3 French races to rate for today's Spotlight Ratings.

Something to make you smile...
An American and an Englishman are about to be executed
The American is put before the executioner and is asked: "What are your final 3 wishes ?"
The American replies: "My first wish is to smoke one last cigarette"
They bring him one last cigarette, he smokes it and the executioner asks him: "Your 2nd wish ?"
American: "To drink one last shot of whiskey before I die"
They bring him one shot of whiskey, he drinks it and the executioner asks: "And your final wish ?"
American: "I wish I was buried near George Washington"
So he is executed and buried near Washington.
Then comes the Englishman's turn.
When asked about his first wish he replies: "I want to skate on that lake over there".
Executioner: "But it's not frozen."
Englishman: "No problem. We'll wait until it freezes!"
They waited until winter came, the lake froze and the Englishman skated on it.
Executioner: "Your 2nd wish ?"
Englishman: "To swim in the lake"
Executioner: "But now it's frozen"
Englishman: "No problem. We'll just wait until it defrosts"
They waited until summer came, the lake unfroze and the Englishman swam in it.
Executioner: "And your final wish ?"
Englishman: "To be buried near Queen Elizabeth II"
Executioner: "But she's not dead."
Englishman: "No problem. We'll just wait until she dies!"
My Mother...

3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL. "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week."
4. My mother taught me LOGIC. "Because I said so, that's why."
5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC. "If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."
6. My mother taught me FORESIGHT. "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."
7. My mother taught me IRONY. "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."

12. My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY. "If I told you once, I've told you a million times. Don't exaggerate!"

14. My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION. "Stop acting like your father."
15. My mother taught me about ENVY. "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do."
16. My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION. "Just wait until we get home."
17. My mother taught me about RECEIVING. "You are going to get it when you get home."
