After a very enjoyable Christmas...
It's back to work with a vengeance for me today.
I'll be carrying on the work that I started before Christmas...
Studying what happens when a horse is top rated on Focus Ratings R4 and also top rated on Advance Ratings.
Focus Ratings
Yesterday's Results
Here are the results in the Traffic Light Results PDF format... Yesterday's Traffic Light Results

Something to make you smile...
Just One More Time...
A man walks into a bar with his dog and orders two glasses of whiskey.
He proposes a toast and both he and his dog empty their glasses.
The girl behind the bar is surprised and asks: 'Can your dog perform other tricks?'.
'But of course', the man answers, 'he can even gratify a woman'.
Anxious to know more the girl leads the man and the dog into a little room above the bar.
She undresses and full of expectation she lies down on the bed.
The dog looks at her and does nothing, and the man then shouts to the dog, 'OK. Just ONE more time, let me show you how it's done".

Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
