Call To Post @ Derby Trail Recap
Just some odds and ends listed in this thread from a player with too much time on his hands. A lot of this mish mash is from when we arrived here at the Derby Trail around 2014. I joined this group in the 2009 season and I know The Call To Post predates me maybe as the Final Turn. Our first listed Points winner here at Derby Trail was Criminal Type a player I'll never forget. Dapplehorse was our first ROI winner. The reason I started looking back was when Joly went for a four peat this year and I wondered if anyone else did it. The answer is no but JB has gone for 4 four peats over the years and if not for Cruzan edging him out by 4 points Joly would have had a five peat.

Thanks for the back date report. I bet you have kept records as long as you've been with us. Were you a statistician, a bank examiner, a legal investigator or actuary before retirement???

None of the above. Just a number cruncher with the tbreds. As for "before retirement" if I retired where would I find the time to handicap?

The highest points score I have seen was registered by Joly B on 2/27/16 at Gulfstream. JB had 231 on that afternoon. Joly B also had 204 to win at Oaklawn in 2018. No other player has won a points contest with over 200 points. The oddity is that on the day Joly put up 231 points 3 other players scored over 200 and couldn't sniff out a win.

It means that this crop had designated 2 year olds for their 2 year old races, and the 3 year olds are still waiting in the wings as races for them come up. The older horses retired, got hurt, or the trainers found out in time that the usual meds (and I use that term loosely) were now tested for. New York tightened their testing up considerably and at least one trainer did not win a race worth anything at the spa last year because his whole humongous stable got a summer cold and took a vacation. He's at least entering some this year, but the usual championship run did not happen. It did show up approximately 30 seconds after the testing was boosted, though.
