Points and ROI Totals through August 7, 2021

A quick update (real life really got in the way this week), DonGuido hangs tough on the lead with Ruffian nipping ever closer at his heals as Real Quiet lands a nice win in ROI and is strong on the 3rd rung of the ladder. Cal 828 adds nicely to his totals with scores in each contest and JolyB adds to his spot holding in the 6 hole. Lets see how Arlington Park treats is. It's not Halloween yet but we may get treats or be tricked more likely.

1: 313 - DonGuido (4th Pts again)
2: 311 - Ruffian (1st Pts)
3: 273 - Real Quiet (1st ROI)
4: 249 - Cal828 (2nd ROI and 3rd Pts)
5: 232 - Plenilune
6: 223- JolyB (2nd Pts)
7: 190- Digger
8: 119 - Alli
9: 105- Cruzan-200246
10: 80 - Indian Hemp
11: 73 - Roamin42
12: 40- NJ Stinks

Points and ROI Totals through August 14, 2021

DonGuido, with his unusual success in wagers this years, gets the ROI win and adds a 3rd in Pts to widen his lead a little . . . as Ruffian gets nipped at the wire yielding a 2nd in Pts for her efforts still keeping DG in her cross hairs. Cal828adds to his coffer with minor honors in Pts and Plenilune brings 2nd place pts in ROI. And Cruzan-200246 hits the win in Pts adding nicely to his totals.

Well our handicapping year draws closer to the end . . .with little over a couple of months away from The Breeders Cup and another Gallivan Cup to award. Thanks for playing a ya nose how much I luvs yas!!!

1: 328 - DonGuido (1st ROI and 3rd Pts)
2: 319 - Ruffian (2nd Pts)

5: 240 - Plenilune (2nd ROI)
6: 224- JolyB
7: 191- Digger

Points and ROI Totals through August 28,2021


No change at the top as DonGuido takes minor honors with a 4th in Pts and Ruffian not far behind with a 3rd in Pts. Indian Hemp nails big return and the win in ROI while Real Quiet garners another great day at the window coming in 2nd in ROI and Digger takes a 3rd in ROI. JolyB is the big mover and shaker with a REPEAT win in Pts jumps over Plen and Cal to grab the 4 hole and Digger adds a little more to pocket with a 2nd in Pts.

Last day at The Spa. Sad to see it end but it also mean college football is teeing it up. Love my Clemson Tigers!!!

Points and ROI Totals through September 11, 2021

Ruffian takes on minor honors gaining a little ground on the leader but Saturday's big move by JolyB is akin to the civilian astronauts rocketing into orbit around the earth as he leaps into 3rd place (now ever so close to Lady Cat and DG) with mega bonus points for his combo SWEEP and REPEAT performance. C8al28 nabs 3rd place points in Pts securing his spot on the 4th rung of the ladder, while Digger nicely lands a 2nd place in both contests staying tough in the 7 hole. That's it for scoring this week so lets see Belmont treats us next.

Thanks for playing and ya's nose how much I luvs ya!!!

1: 349 - DonGuido
2: 340 - Ruffian (4th Pts)
3; 338 - JolyB (REPEAT in ROI and SWEEP with 40 Bonus pts)
4: 289 - Real Quiet
5: 265 - Cal828 (3rd Pts)
6: 255 - Plenilune
7: 231 - Digger (2nd Pts and ROI)
8: 119 - Alli
9: 120 - Cruzan-200246
10: 101 - Indian Hemp
11: 77 - Roamin42
12: 44 - NJ Stinks

Roamin shares a 3rd in Pts staying in the 11the spot and NJ Stinks brings his totals up with a nice 2nd in ROI.

Points and ROI Totals through October 2, 2021


Past two week totals added in. Real life and it's demands have occupied most of my time so here's the new totals without much fanfare, except we have a new leader, Ruffian. Keep the Colorado catnip in your brownies and polishing your mystical crystal ball so you can keep surprising us with your head scratching mega $$$ bets.

If the totals are off a point or two, sue me by contacting my lawyers, Fleeceum, Cheetum and De'Leetum, LLPD.

1: 389 - Ruffian
2: 379 - DonGuido
3; 360 - JolyB
4: 315 - Cal828
5: 299 - Real Quiet
6: 259 - Plenilune
7: 241 - Digger
8: 127 - Cruzan-200246
9: 119 - Alli
10: 108 - Indian Hemp
11: 91 - Roamin42
12: 54 - NJ Stinks

Sub note: my law firm practices under the umbrella of the Internationally Famous firm of Dewey, Cheatem and How, COLD Group. "Church Of Legal Defectors" non-taxable of course . . it's a church.

Final Points and ROI Totals for 2020-2021 Handicapping Year

(Orignally posted on another thread)

Pretty much well known already but I'll add the final double points BC numbers in and call it offical naming the Call to Post Regular Season Champ.

And the 2020-2021 Points and ROI Totals Champion is our Colorado Kitten Ruffian. She knocked it out of the park in ROI and prevailed fore the win in the Points Contest. Awesome job Ruffian. Keep that crystal ball shined up and all your other handicapping aids as you may need them again next season.

WELL DONE RUFFIAN. WELL DONE!!!



1: 461 - Ruffian (3rd Pts)
2; 409- JolyB
3: 403- DonGuido
4: 341 - Cal828 (4th Pts)

6: 296 - Plenilune (2nd Pts)
