Cal828, don't fall for that "catnip" invitation . . . she's not only a feline's feline but a sorcerer . . . how else could she pull the ROI winners she does but rom a magic hat, a crystal ball or an 8 ball. Maybe she does get special "insights" "consuming" the Colorado "catnip" . . . not sure but be careful . . . just ask RQ.

I don't know what she does, but she surely does it well. Didn't she come within a cat's whisker of winning last week? There's probably a simple explanation for it. My theory is she's smoking too much of that "Colorado Catnip." I always heard that stuff would make you have "visions," if you over did it. She probably sees the winning horses in a vision. I guess we all better hope she doesn't combine the "catnip" with those silly mushrooms(psilocybin?). If she did, she'd probably win the NHC.

Now that's funny. Thanks for a nice chuckle before bed time.

Points and ROI Totals through Feb 9, 2019

JolyB grasps minor honors adding to his commanding lead as Real Quiet does the same hanging tough in the 4 hole. Roamin42 nabs a nice win in Pts and jumps up the ladder to challenge for the 5th rung of the ladder. DonGuido tallys a 2nd place score in Pts adding nicely to his pot in the 7 hole with the big haul of the day being Cruzan20024 capturing a dandy ROI REPEAT win and jumping over NJ at that.

Thanks for playing and we'll see how The Fairgrounds treats us.

1. 240 JolyB (3rd Pts)
2. 111 Ruffian-333
3. 86 Cal828
4. 81 Real Quiet (4th Pts)
5. 66 Plenilune
6. 65 Roamin42 (1st Pts)
7. 60 DonGuido (2nd Pts)
8. 52 Cruzan20024 (1st ROI REPEAT with 20 bonus points)
9. 10 NJ Stinks
10. 8 El Prado (My sincere apologies EP!!!)
8 Indian Hemp

Our friend Roamin42 is much too much of a gentleman to say anything, so I'd like to speak up on his behalf. You've often listed him as Roamin43; when he win the points contest as he did last Saturday, I think he is entitled to be called by his proper screen name.

I think he is too, fixed and innocent oversight. I'm sure he felt a year younger for a little while assuming the 42 is his birth year.

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)
2. 115 Ruffian-333 (4th Pts)
3. 87 Cal828
4. 86 Real Quiet (3rd Pts)
5. 77 Plenilune (1st ROI)
6. 71 DonGuido (1st Pts)
7. 66 Roamin42
8. 53 Cruzan20024
9. 11 NJ Stinks
10. 9 El Prado

8 Indian Hemp
