Points and ROI Totals through May 6, 2023 Derby Day

With double points for those who scored . . . JolyB takes on minor honors with a 4th in Pts and the big winner of the day, with a SWEEP and picking the winner, Real Quiet adds a whopping 72 points to his totals and catapults into the 3 hole (NICE JOB RQ). Ruffian adds nicely to her totals now on the 4th rung of the ladder, while Cruzan200246 takes 3rd place honors hanging tough in the 7 hole. The rest of us were happy to get an exta point for showing up.

Who'd a thunk that Mage would win, well RQ did (for some reason but didn't pick him in the Points Contest). Was it a typo or some sort of Equine Devine Intervention? Only RQ knows and what a haul he made.

BTW PS, I'd be remiss if I didn't give SPECIAL ACCLAIM to Ruffian, Real Quite and Cruzan200246 for nailing the extras they did!!!

1. 172 - Digger
2. 166 - JolyB (4th Pts)
3. 160 - Real Quiet (SWEEP and 10 extra for picking the Winner)
4. 140 - Ruffian (2nd Pts plus 10 extra for Attendance guess of 150,130,with the actual of 150,335 according to Google)
5. 109 - Indian Hemp
6. 100 - DonGuido
7. 107 - Cruzan 200246 3rd Pts and 10 extra for picking the Last place horse)
8. 61 - Cal 828
9. 52 - Zippy
10. 38 - Alli

5 - VJ Stauffer

Well with the last double points contest until the Breeders Cup, three players took advantage of it and nicely improved their positions starting with JolyB taking over the lead hitting 2nd's in each contest. Digger takes minor honors with a 4th in ROI now on the 2nd rung of the ladder and Ruffian the same in Pts. DonGuido nabs a nice double points score and jumps up into the 5 hole as Cal200246 brings home the real bacon with a THREE PEAT in ROI on top of double points now jumping up to the 6th rung of the ladder.

Off to Monmouth to see what The Garden State has to offer.

1. 224 - JolyB (2nd Pts and 2nd ROI))
2. 206 - Digger (4tn ROI)
3. 194 - Real Quiet
4. 173 - Ruffian (4th Pts)
5. 166 - DonGuido (1st Pts and 3rd ROI))
6. 156 - Cal 828 (ROI THREE PEAT)
7. 142 - Indian Hemp
8. 117 - Cruzan 200246
9. 66 - Zippy
10. 54 - Alli

Sorry, Don, I'm not following the math. I won on 5/27 and it looks like I got the right score, but on 6/3, I only got 11 points; however that was a repeat win so shouldn't I have gotten 10 points for the win plus a bonus of 20 points which would have made my score 104 and then last week I did a threepeat with double points for a triple crown win for 20 points and 30 points for the bonus which I think would have brought my total to 155 or am I wrong about all this?
