Default Points and ROI Totals for 2018-2019 Contest Year

All-righty-then . . . we start another handicapping year with yours truly keeping up with the points and ROI totals. Let's see how long I can go without overlooking, forgetting or just plain getting someone or something wrong.

Points and ROI totals through November 24, 2018

And we start out with two smoking hot pistols a blazzing taking command right out of the gate for the first two contests of the year as Ruffian shows us she's determined to join the "500 Club" this year with a repeat in points and Roamin carries the same tone of GUSTO with a repeat in ROI. Hotsey Totsey to both of you . . WOW!!! The rest of us are noted below . . .

42 Ruffian-333, (ladies before gents) REPEAT in Points
42 Roamin42, REPEAT in ROI
16 Cal828, with hits in Points and ROI for both weeks
16 NJ Stinks, nailing place hits in ROI both weeks
10 JolyB, with 3rd place hits in Points both weeks
9 Real Quiet, garnering a show spot this week
6 DonGuido, manages a show spot in ROI for the first week of the year
5 Plenilune, hits a 4th place spot for the first week
2 Cruzan200246

Points and ROI Totals through December 1, 2018

Somehow DonGuido managed to snuff Ruff out of continuing her meteoric climb as the current top four were shut out. See how we run for now below. Real Quiet and DonGuido climb a little and JolyB and Plenilune tag along just behind. It's ealry . . . just hold your peepers for awhile before I start putting onezees and twozees on the board.

Luvs y'all!!!


43 Ruffian-333
43 Roamin42
17 Cal828
17 NJ Stinks
17 Real Quiet, 2nd Pts

See revisions above and I have no clue how to copy or cut and paste on my touch screen tablet. The rendering of all will have to wait also. Thanks,

Ok I now have a new little laptop that work like a dream!!!! See totals below. Dec 15 updates to follow.

Ok now HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!! With points spread all around, we have a new leader as JolyB takes over convincingly with a very nice SWEEP and Roamin43 hangs tough in the 3 hole while Ca828 and Plenilune hold hands on the 4th rung of the ladder. NJ Stinks adds nicely to his total not too far behind and DonGuido takes minor honors and gains a little ground.

Hope nobody gets coal in their stocking from the jolly old Elf and y'all have a Judy Garland "Merry Little Christmas" . . . we'll see ya next weekend where ever JB elects to take us!

Points and ROI totals through January 5, 2019

Trust me on these totals, since I have been way behind and playing catch up but it's safe to say the JolyB is treating this contest like the Clemson Tigers treated Alabama last Monday. He's so far ahead we can't even see his dust. He's hotter than the sun. He's . . . well you get the picture. Just look at his total in early January, amazing!!!

And now that my new little ASUS lap top is working fine with Office Suites, I'll get back in my regular, irregular grove.


1. 204 JolyB (with SWEEPS, REPEATS and THREEPEATS all in row, Foughedaboudit!!!)
2. 60 Cal828 (2nd Pts)
3. 52 Roamin43 (3rd Pts)
4. 51 Ruffian-333
5. 50 Plenilune (2nd ROI)
6. 42 Real Quiet
7. 35 DonGuido (4th Pts)
8. 29 NJ Stinks (3rd ROI)
9. 6 Cruzan20024
10. 4 Indian Hemp

Points and ROI totals through January 19, 2019

Ok, so JolyB cooled off a little but he's bound to heat up again and Cal828 stays tough in the place spot, while Real Quite makes a big jump up the ladder with nice scores last two weeks to nab the 3 hole. Ruffian also adds nicely to her score securing her spot in the 4 hole and Plenilune stays pat in the 6 slot. NJ Stinks jumps over DG (who couldn't pick a winner after the race is over) and takes on the 7th rung of the ladder.

The rest of us, right now, are colder than a frozen turkey waiting for next Thanksgiving.

Lets see how the Gulfstream Pegasus card deals with us as we move closer to more competitive Derby Trial racing. Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letter coming in.


1. 216 JolyB (4th Pts 1/12, 2n Pts 1/19)
2. 76 Cal828 ( 1st Pts 1/12, 3rd Pts 1/19)
3. 71 Real Quiet (1syt ROI and 2nd Pts 1/12, 1st Pts 1/19)
4. 67 Ruffian-333 (1st ROI, 4th Pts 1/19)
5. 56 Plenilune (3rd Pts 1/12)
6. 52 Roamin43
7. 38 NJ Stinks (2nd ROI 1/19)
8. 37 DonGuido
9. 8 Cruzan20024
10. 5 Indian Hemp
