Points and ROI Totals for 2019-2020 Contest Year
Points and ROI Totals through November 16,2019
Starting the new handicapping season with a couple of carry over repeats as Cal828 grabs the ROI repeat and hits a nice 2nd in Pts whicl DonGuido starts off with a bang nabbing a repeat win in the Points Contest. JolyB starts with a nice place position in ROI and Real Quiet and Cruzan200246 pocket some points with minor honors. The start of a handicapping year leaves some to be desired on venues and entries as we saw this week at Del Mar and it's a slow grind to put an order to the players. But the bevy of Derby hopefuls will soon start to materialize. I always ask at the start the year if anyone can recruit new players and or talk the ones that show up now and then into playing on a regular basis. Not sure what's up with El Prado (hope she's OK). I have her email address, so I'll check on her. Thanks much to all the faithful and take care to all!!! Ruffian and JolyB knocked it out of the park last year on the Points contest. And Roamin42 showed all of us how to take home the bacon in the ROI contest. Let's see if anyone else can rise up this year. 39 Cal828 31 DonGuido 8 JolyB 5 Real Quiet 4 Cruzan200246 1 Ruffian-333 1 Plenilune 1 Roamin42

OK, so DonGuido must have found the magic potion he lost most of last year and starts out of the gate in the new year with a very good lead gaining 30 bonus points for a three-peat while landing 2nd in ROI as well. Cal828 adds nicely to his bank with a place in Pts while JolyB captures points hitting both the Pts nd ROI contest and Plenilune joins him doing the same. Lets not overlook NJ Stinks who spots us a couple of weeks and jumps into the fray with a very nice win in ROI. We'll lose a day of horse racing concentration, as we should, in celebrating Thanksgiving but that's OK as I understand turkey will all help us rest our brains more than ever so we can take on the next card. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!! 79 DonGuido 47 Cal828 16 JolyB 11 NJ Stinks 9 Plenilune 6 Real Quiet 5 Cruzan200246 2 Ruffian-333 2 Roamin42

So we have some moving and grooving here as Cal828 hangs tough in the 2 hole with minor points added (not one of us hit anything in ROI) and JolyB nails the win in Pts moving up the ladder to the 3rd rung. RealQuiet lands a 2nd in pts maintaining his spot in the 4 hole and Plenilune captures a 3rd in Pts to add to her totals in 6th spot. So lets see how Gulfstream treats us, especially wagering-wise??? 1. 84 DonGuido 2. 56 Cal828 (4th Pts) 3. 28 JolyB (1st Pts) 4. 25 Real Quiet (2nd Pts) 5. 24 Cruzan200246 6. 16 Plenilune (3rd Pts) 7. 11 NJ Stinks 8. 4 Roamin42 9. 2 Ruffian-333

Hmmmmmmm, DonGuido seems to have a magic lamp he's rubbing this year as he takes off to a pretty commanding lead so far and Cal828 is not too far behind nailing place spots in both contests. Real Quiet adds to his pocket with a nice 2nd in Pts and Plenilune and JolyB push their totals up with minor honors in the Pts contest. Lets see what happens at either Santa Anita or Gulfstream. Thanks for playing and don't forget to route for my Clemson Tigers in the CFP Championship game this coming Monday evening!!! We'll see if the Real Tigers can pull off a win over the Faux Tigers in Nar'lins? 1. 157 DonGuido (REPEAT and SWEEP adding 40 Bonus Pts) 2. 108 Cal828 (Tie for win in Pts and 2nd in ROI) 3. 67 Real Quiet (2nd Pts) 4. 55 JolyB (4th Pts) 5. 49 Plenilune (3rd Pts) 6. 24 Cruzan200246 7. 17 NJ Stinks 8. 9 Indian Hemp 9. 8 Roamin42 10. 2 Ruffian-333

Well we have a new leader as Cal828 knocks down a huge REPEAT and SWEEP this week. Nice job Cal, as DonGuido takes over the end rung of the ladder with 4th in Pts. JolyB hangs tough in the 3 hole nabbing a 2nd in Pts and Ruffian rejoins the group hitting on a 3rd in Pts. She'll soon move up the ladder I'm sure. So my Clemson Tigers didn't have any answers for a loaded LSU Team. It was hard to watch. They were out played and out coached, which is the only time it's been done in the last two years. I can see them going for the CFP trophy again next year but we'll have to wait and see. They still have the premier program in the nation. Thanks all for playing, see ya next week where ever Cal takes us. 1. 169 Cal828 (Repeat in Points SWEEP with 40 Bonus Pts) 2. 161 DonGuido (4th in Pts) 3. 68 Real Quiet 4. 63 JolyB (2nd in Pts) 5. 50 Plenilune 6. 24 Cruzan200246 7. 17 NJ Stinks 8. 9 Indian Hemp 9. 9 Roamin42 10. 7 Ruffian-333 (3rd Pts)

Points and ROI Totas through Jan 18, 2020
WOW!!! Cal828 nails the first THREEPEAT of the year and soars to a commanding lead breaking the 200 pt level as Real Quiet takes minor honors in Pts standing tough in the 3 hole. JolyB is breathing down his neck landing place points in the Pts contest while Plenilune gathers show honors keeping a stronghold on the 5th rung of the ladder. NJ Stinks fattens his ROI wallet with excellent wagers winning the ROI contest and moves up one spot while Ruffian jumps up two spots nailing a 2nd place in ROI and Indian Hemp collects minor honors with a 3rd in ROI. Thanks all for playing. I'll try to be more of a regular and lets just see how the Pegasus Card treats Cal828 to gain a coveted 4 bagger. 1. 200 Cal828 (Threepeat with 20 Bonus Pts) 2. 161 DonGuido 3. 72 Real Quiet (4th Pts) 4. 71 JolyB (2nd Pts) 5. 55 Plenilune (3rd Pts) 6 28 NJ Stinks (1st ROI) 7. 24 Cruzan200246 8. 15 Ruffian-333 (2nd ROI) 9. 14 Indian Hemp (3rd ROI) 10. 9 Roamin42

So Cal828 continues to put on a clinic with another SWEEP and DonGuido hits in both contests with a rare win in ROI adding nicely to his totals. Real Quiet accepts minor honors hanging tough in the 4 hole while Ruffian-333 garners 3rd place numbers for a show spot in Pts. And Indian Hemp hits a nice ROI wager and a place spot in the contest. Looks like we'll be scratching our head again at the Fairgrounds with plethora (use the Daffy Duck "plethora", it's more fun) of horses coming from here, there and everywhere. See ya in the gate and thanks for playing!!! 1. 247 Cal828 (st Pts w/ 20 Bonus Pt6s) 2. 199 DonGuido (2nd Pts and 1st ROI) 3. 91 JolyB 4. 77 Real Quiet (4th Pts) 5. 58 Plenilune 6. 41 NJ Stinks 7. 36 Ruffian-333 (3rd Pts) 8. 24 Cruzan200246 9. 23 Indian Hemp (2nd ROI) 10.15 Roamin42 11. 1 Alli (Great to have her in the mix)

Cal828 puts his horse in high gear nailing a THREE PART (his second of the year I believe) and add minor points for a 3rd ROI leaving us all in his dust . . . quite something breaking the 300 level this early in the year. DonGuido gains minor honors with a 4th in Pts pushing him into the 200 club and Plenilune hits a nice 2nd in Pts adding nicely to her totals. Ruffian-333 captures a win in ROI and a 3rd in Pts as she jumps over NJ to take on the 6th rung of the ladder and Indian Hemp nails a 2nd place in ROI and he too jumps up taking the 7 hole away from a missing Cruzan. Where is that waskally wabbit Cruzan anyway??? Thanks for playing and lets just see what magic Cal has up his sleeve for our next outing! 1. 302 Cal828 (3rd in ROI and 1st Pts THREE PEAT w/ 30 Bonus Pts + 10 from 1/18 THREE PEAT Bonus Pts I missed then) 2. 203 DonGuido (4th Pts) 3. 92 JolyB 4. 78 Real Quiet 5. 66 Plenilune (2nd Pts) 6. 52 Ruffian-333 (1st ROI and 3rd Pts) 7. 42 NJ Stinks 8. 31 Indian Hemp (2nd ROI) 9. 24 Cruzan200246 10.16 Roamin42 11. 2 Alli (Great to have her in the mix)

With the toppers being quieted, JolyB rolls on adding 2nd place Pts totals to his bank while the Colorado clairvoyant kitten Ruffian continues to dominate in ROI with her magical longshot picks and jumps way up into the 3 hole. Real Quiet is no slouch winning the Pts contest hanging tough on the 5th rung of the ladder and Plenilune nicely takes the place spot in ROI solidifying her hold on the 6 spot and Alli puts in a nice effort for a show spot in Pts adding to her totals. We are experiencing some unusual times now in most everything we take for granted but it will get back to normal soon I hope. We have a wonderful group of folks here and unless something changes for the worse in this amazing sport we are all fortunate to keep looking forward to playing this contest . . . something small but important to be thankful for. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones and keep those cards and letters coming in. 1. 312 Cal828 2. 222 DonGuido 3. 153 Ruffian-333 (1st ROI for a THREE PEAT and 4th in Pts) 4. 150 JolyB (2nd in Pts) 5. 106 Real Quiet (1st Pts) 6. 83 Plenilune (2nd ROI) 7. 45 NJ Stinks 8. 33 Indian Hemp 9. 27 Roamin42 10. 24 Cruzan200246 11. 20 Alli (3rd Pts)

Points and ROI Totals through March 21,2020
Lets get this all updated on this abysmal showing at The Fairgrounds. I know we can all do better than this although one Player knocked it out of the park!!! Cal828 remains relatively quiet adding pts for a place spot in Pts and the same for DonGuido adding minor honors. RealQuiet is not quiet at all and the home run hitter this week as he gathers a very nice SWEEP and a REPEAT adding 40 bonus points and a leap in the 3 hole, very nice RQ. JolyB shares place honors with Cal hanging tough in the 4 hole and Roamin42 bolsters his hold on the 9th rung of the ladder with a 4th in Pts. We can't help but practice social and cyber distancing here and that's a good thing but really, make sure everyone here stays safe and rides this crazy period out without coming down with the bad CV19. It all kinda reminds me of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. I'm sure there's at least one or two shows similar to what we are experiencing not. Thanks for playing and see ya next week where ever RQ takes us. 1. 320 Cal828 (2nd Pts tie) 2. 227 DonGuido (3rd Pts) 3. 167 Real Quiet (1st Pts with a REPEAT and SWEEP with his ROI win!!!) 4. 158 JolyB (2nd Pts again tie) 5. 154 Ruffian-333 6. 84 Plenilune 7. 46 NJ Stinks 8. 34 Indian Hemp 9. 31 Roamin42 (4th Pts) 10. 24 Cruzan200246 11. 21 Alli
