[DonGuido]

Points and ROI Totals through February 16, 2019

JolyB continues his efforts by adding nicely to his totals with place honors in both contests and Ruffian hangs tough in the 2 hole as well with minor honors in Pts. Real Quiet captures show honors in Pts moving up closer to Cal 828 and Plenilune nails the win in ROI solidifying her hold on the 5th rung of the ladder. DonGuido hits the Pts win and seems to be getting his ducks more in row with two Pts wins in the last 3 weeks as he jumps up 1 place to the 6 hole.

Thanks you playing and well see where we end up for our next puzzling venue.

1. 256 JolyB (2nd Pts and ROI)

Points and ROI Totals through Feb 23, 2019

Jolyb nails the points win and continues to show us all how it's done while Ruffian takes a 3rd in points nicely adding to her totals in the 2 hole. Cal828 is no slouch gaining 2nd place honors in points and Plenilune moves closer and closer to RQ in the 4 hole.

DonGuido accepts minor honors with a 4th in points and Indian Hemp lands a very nice win in ROI who is probably upset that he didn't have real money on his wager . . . very nice hit IH.

On we go, back to Gulfstream as we get closer and closer to finding real 3YO contenders for the Derby, we think?!

1. 271 JolyB (1st Pts and 3rd ROI)

Points and ROI Totals through March 2, 2019

JolyB keeps on keepin on with another REPEAT win putting himself in a whole other league while Ruffian adds points to here 2nd position with a 3rd in Pts and Cal828 cracks the century mark hanging tough in 3rd. DonGuido takes the bridesmaid role in Pts moving closer to Plen and RQ taking aim on their spots. Cruzan 20024 nabs mmin or honors in Pts adding nicely to his totals nd El Prado jumps up a spot with a nice place showing in ROI.

So lets see what happen with the split Aqueduct-Tampa Bay Derby card JB has offered. Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letters coming in.


1. 302 JolyB ( 1st Pts REPEAT again with 20 bonus pts)
2. 125 Ruffian-333 (3rs Pts)

Points and ROI Totals through March 9, 2019

JolyB continues to pour it on with another THREE PEAT win (setting multiple records this year and we have 7 months to go - see below) as Ruffian hangs tough but farrrrrr back in the 2 hole with a 2nd in Pts. Cal828 gains minor pts for his hold on the 3 spot and Real Quiet accumulates show points in Pts to hang tough in the 4 hole. DonGuido nails a rare score in ROI for show spot and takes the 5 rung of the ladder away from Plen edging closer to the RQ as well.

Roamin42 adds points minor honors for his stay in the 7 hole and the BIG PRIZE of the weekend goes to Indian Hemp for a THREE PEAT in ROI pushing him way up the ladder 4 spots to share the 5 hole with DG while NJH Stinks hits a 3rd place in ROI to help pad his totals.

So we have a remarkable demonstration so far t his year by JolyB. Something that has never happened here before. I guess I guess I used to be known as the "King" of Points . . . NOT ANYMORE. All I can say to JB is (and enjoy) . . . just replace "us" with "him".

https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/s...7&action=click Ya'gotta love the Disco Fever baby and JolyB . . . as I can see him skating circles around us on the rink for the rest of the year!!! Oh, and you can ask the rest of us "where we're goin . . . and we don't know)

or Luther Vandross if you like . . .https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/s...9&action=click


1. 343 JolyB (THREE PEAT again with 30 bonus pts)
2. 133 Ruffian-333 (2nd Pts)

[DonGuido]

Points nd ROI Totals through March 16, 2019

Alighty then JolyB adds to his mega total with a mere 3rd in Pts, while Ruffian takes the Pts win to secure her hold in 2nd place and Real Quiet hits a win in ROI nicely adding to his totals on the 4th rung of the ladder.

And we have a log jamb in the 5th spot as DonGuido, Indian Hemp and Plenilune will battle it out for a gain in the next contest. I don't think I've seen a three way tie in all my years here and there. But if anyone would know, it would be our head statistician Real Quiet.

Thanks for playing and lets see how the Fairgrounds treats us and if a 3YO runner in the Louisiana Derby can put a sparkle in our eyes leading to the Derby that's about a month and a half away. Oh and please keep those cards and letters coming in!!!

1. 348 JolyB (3rd Pts)
2. 144 Ruffian-333 (1st Pts)

Points and ROI Totals through April 6, 2019

Sorry but several of life's challenges have kept my mind occupied lately. Here is a quick update to bring us current. I'll promise to do better . . .

The big points getters include JolyB of course as he nails place spots in both contests and Repeats 'till the cows come home . . . no catchin him for sure. Cal828 lands 23 added points, Real Quiet pulls in 18 points with a nice showing last week and Ruffian edges RQ ading 21 points to her basket. These and the rest of the totals, besides Cruzan adding 16, can be seen below.

Off to beautiful in the Arkansas hills with Dogwoods and Azaleas adding to the beauty. Keeneland's no slouch for beauty either!!! Let's hope the weather is halfway decent. Opps missed Riffians Repeat win from 3/16 1n3 3/23. Now added in Ruffian.

1. 386 JolyB

[DonGuido]

Points and ROI Totals through April 13, 2019

JolyB adds points to his mega numbers with a place spot in Pts and Ruffian takes minor honors with a 4th in Pts to solidify her stalwart hold on the second rung of the ladder. Cal828 looks at show points securing his third place spot while Real Quiet inches up some sharing minor honors with Ruffian and Plenilune nabs the win in points bolstering her nesting place in the 5 hole. No points for ROI wagers, very unusual and lets see how we fair at Laurel.

Points and ROI Totals through April 20,2019

JolyB hits bridesmaid point again and reaches the 400 level probably the earliest in the history of this contest while Ruffian ties up with JB adding to her totals. DonGuido channels his other self and SWEEPS the contests making a huge jump into the 3 hole. Cal828 gains points with show points in the pts contest again and Real Quet nabs 2nd place honors in ROI just behind DG on the 4th rung of the ladder. Plenilune hits minor honors in both contest bolstering her hole on the 6 hole and NJ Stinks adds points minor honors in ROI.

Let's see what happens at Golden Gate Fields and if the real DG shows up or his "other self" can nab a REPEAT, we'll see about that? And please keep those cards and letters coming in.

1. 402 JolyB (2nd in Pts again)
2. 197 Ruffian-333 (2nd in Pts tie)
3. 140 DonGuido (SWEEP w/ 20 bonus points)

Points and ROI Totals through May 4, 2019

Lots of going to a few to include Derby Day extra bonus. JolyB was rather quiet the last two weeks but he's still way out of reach for all of us but Ruffian gathered in a big basket of point on Derby Day to keep her stronghold on the 2 hole. Cal828 also pulled down a nice bag of points and jumps over DG to take on the 3rd rung of the ladder while DonGuido takes on the 4 hole for now. It's starting to bunch up just like the Derby. Hope nobody claims an inquiry.

Real Quiet hangs tough in the 5th spot and Plenilune stand right behind in the 6 hole. Cruzan200242 jumps over IH to sit nicely on the 7th rung of the ladder and El Prado increase her bank of points staying in the 10 hole.

Thanks for playing and we'll see you next where Ruff wants to take us.
____________________________________________
Corrections made thanks to my editor in chief Ruffian and checking back on the official attendance, according to the Washington Post, was 150,729 so my guess of 152,450 is the closets for 10 more bonus pts.

1. 408 JolyB (3rd pts tie 4/27)
2. 243 Ruffian-333 (2nd in Pts 4/27 and 1st Pts & 2nd ROI 5/4)

Points and ROI Totals through May 11, 2019

No ROI wagers to add points but Ruffian adds nicely to her totals with a 2nd in points while DonGuido my be heating up at the right time nails a win in points and jumps into the 3 hole . . . but can he catch the Colorado Kitten? . . . because no one is catching the Professor. Plenilune takes minor honors adding to her points pocketbook joining RQ in 5th spot and Cruzan200246 solidifies his spot on the 7th rung of the ladder.

Lets see how Pimlico and The Peakness works out for us. Hopefully without muddy or sloppy track for a change.

DonGuido changes places with Cal 828 and Plenilune changes places with RQ as Roamin adds to his totals.

Points and ROI Totals through June 8, Belmont Day, 2019

Belmont Day with double points helped many as JolyB continues his dominance and the lead scoring in one way almost every week but Ruffina starts to slowly close the gap in the 2 hole, pretty impressive I'd say. Cal828 is the big points getter of the day making a huge stride and pulling away from any threat to take over his 3rd rung of the ladderr and DonGuido solidifies his hold and seconditis adding nicely to his total in the 4 hole.

Plenilune garners nice points keeping her distance in the 5th spot from Real Quiet who is close behind with a 4th in Pts on the 6th rung of the ladder. Cruzan200246 is cozy in the 7 hole and Roamin42 jumps up into the 8 spot with a nice BIG win in ROI.

Thanks for playing and lets see how CD treats us but from what I saw not very well at all!!!

1. 451 JolyB (3rd Pts)
2. 419 Ruffian-333 (1st Pts tie)
3. 264 Cal828 (1st Pts tie 2nd ROI and REPEAT in Pts . . .WOW!!!)

Points and ROI Totals through July 20, 2019

Skipping Monmouth Park on July 13 due to HEAT, here we go so far. JolyB adds 3rd place points to keep some separation from our heart of the sun hot Ruffian who nabs points in both contests. CAN SHE CATCH THE PROFESSOR, is the main question this year to me, we'li see? Cal828 hits in both contests and Cruzan 200246 do sas well while Roamin continues to amaze with his crystal ball wagers bringing in extra points and big cyber bucks!!!

Let's see what the nasty Spa has done to us. I know I suck at the Spa . . . how'bout you???

Points and ROI Totals through August 10, 2019

Way behind again. Trust me on the updates as the big points getters for the last 3 weeks are Real Quiet who jumps ahead of DG in the 4 spot adding bonus points for an ROI Repeat and Plenilune solidifying her hold on the 6 hole grabbing nice totals in all 3 weeks. Ruffian as well sneaking up on JB tallied points for all 3 weeks. I will try and keep up but a whole lot going on in real life here with Mr and Mrs Gweeds.

Points and ROI Totals through August 31, 2019

Quick items of note: Ruffian continues gathering eggs in her basket to nip away at JB's heals to take on the Points and ROI totals lead. And Plenilune is also knocking them dead each week to zero in on the top 5.

Another update to follow this week after finding out how Kentucky Downs treated us, not too well it appears.
