OK Ruffian, I get the point . . . No, you got the point. I wanted to point it out to you so you're not disappointed. And thank you for pointing it out to me. In the future, I'll try to be more on point but I won't guaranty it.

I know, I didn't mean for my reply to negative . . . I was trying to be funny to. Looks like you're getting off to good start this year. I hope to feel up to getting back by Derby Day. Take care.

Points and ROI Totals through May 18, 2024

Ruffian still holds a commanding lead with nice scores in the past two weeks while JolyB moves up one spot to take on the 2nd rung of the ladder but the big mover and shaker was Alli who jumps up 3 levels to hang tough in the 4 hole. No real big moves with the rest of us except DonGuido now shares the bottom rung with NJ. Thanks for playing as we move closer to The Belmont with no Triple Crown winner to get excited about.

1. 256 - Ruffian (5/18 1st Pts and 2nd ROI)
2. 198 - JolyB (5/11 2nd Pts and ROI and 5/11 2nd Pts)
3. 197 - Real Quiet
4. 168 - Alli (5/11 1st Pts REPAT +20 bonus pts)
5. 149 - Digger (5/11 4th Pts, 3rd ROI 5/18 4th Pts1st ROI)
6. 139 - Indian Hemp (5/11 3rd Pts)
7. 116 - Zippy (3rd Pts)
8. 63 - Cal828
9. 54 - Cruzan 200246
10. 54 - NJ Stinks (5/11 1sy ROI)
54 - DonGuido (5/18 1st ROI)
