Morning News – 28/08/2020

Good morning...

Whilst I still need to catch up on emails...

I did manage to get the Ante Post ratings for the Irish Champion Stakes (Leopardstwon 12 September 2020) finished.

I am also half way through the Ante Post ratings for the Irish St. Leger.

The Ante Post Ratings for these races are available at AntePostRatings.com

If you are a Focus Ratings, Place Profits or Early Bird Ratings member you may subscribe to that site for free; just send me an email and I'll set you up.

Please let me know which service you currently subscribe to.

If you have already requested access to Ante Post Ratings, you are in a massive backlog of requests - I'll get to you at some point.

I intend to rate all of those races listed on The Racing Post Big Race Entries page and then refine those ratings for each of those races 2 week and then 1 week prior to the race. I've noticed that some of the horses scheduled to race in the Arc are also running in the St. Leger so I'll need to do new ratings for the Arc 2 weeks and 1 week prior to that race. I'll be reporting on results from the 1 week ratings.

Something to make you smile...

Two Old Pensioners

Two old pensioners are taking a trip down memory lane by going back to the place where they first met. Sitting at a café, the little old man says, "Remember the first time I met you over 50 years ago? We left this cafe, went round the corner behind the gas works, and I gave you one from behind."

"Why, yes, I remember it well, dear," replies the little old lady with a grin.

"Well, for old time's sake, let's go there again. and I'll give you one from behind."

The two pensioners pay their bill and leave the cafe. A young man sitting next to them has overheard the conversation and smiles to himself, thinking it would be quite amusing to see two old pensioners at it.

He gets up and follows them.

Sure enough, he sees the two pensioners near the gas works.

The little old lady pulls off her knickers and lifts up her dress.

The old man pulls down his pants and grabs the lady's hips, and the little old lady reaches for the fence.

Well, what follows is 40 minutes of the most athletic sex the man has ever seen.

The little old man is banging away at the little old woman at a pace that can only be described as phenomenal.

Limbs are flying everywhere, the movement is a blur, and they do not stop for a single second.

Finally, they collapse and don't move for an hour.

Well, the man is stunned. Never in his life has he ever seen anything that equates to this -- not in the movies, not from his friends, not from his own experiences.

Reflecting on what he has just seen, he says to himself, "I have to know his secret. If only I could shag like that now, let alone in 50 years' time!"

The two old pensioners have by this time recovered and dressed themselves.

Plucking up courage, the man approaches the pensioner.

He says, "Sir, in all my life I have never seen anybody shag like that, particularly at your age. What's your secret? Could you shag like that 50 years ago?"

The pensioner replies, "Son, 50 years ago, that f*cking fence wasn't electrified."
