Points and ROI totals through August 29, 2015

Gweeds helps to widen his lead by cashing in on a REPEAT win as JolyB nabs another 2nd place in Points hanging tough in the 2 hole. Arletta chimes in with a 4th in Points and Ruffian-333 scores big by winning the ROI contest and will change places with Arletta in the top ten. And Real Quiet lands some nice points for scores in both contests.

One more time this year at the Spa and we'll see if we can figure it out any better than we have been.

Points and ROI Totals through September 5, 2015

OK now, DonGuido hangs on to the lead for now and takes on minor honors this week in a tie for the super spot while Ruffian-333 lands a big repeat win in ROI and jumps way up to nudge DG in the back landing on the second rung of the ladder. JolyB seems to like (not much I'm sure) the bridesmaid role for the 3rd week in a row and has to step back one spot as well. Areltta continues her slow but methodical climb up the ladder nailing good point for a win in Pts and Criminal Type travels the same road as DG this week to share super honors. Last but never least ryonker hangs up a tie for third with Ruff and breaks into the Century Club.

Let's see where Ms Arletta takes us now that Saratoga and Delmar are no more. Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letters coming in.


1. 340 DonGuido (tied 4th in Pts)

[b]Points and ROI Totals through September 19, 2015[/B

Catching up for two contests as DonGuido remains on top with Ruffian close behind and JolyB maintaining a close 3rd. Arletta is there keeping pace as Criminal Type jumps up to close in on the 5 hole. Real Quiet reminds us he's not to be forgotten and Cruzan 200246 gains needed ground to move up one rung on the top ten ladder. And ryonker helps his cause to stay in the top ten.

We get close to the Gallivan Cup and the Breeders Cup Marathon. This weeks contest coming up should be a good warm up.

Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letter coming in!!!

Points and ROI Totals through September 26, 2015

Somehow, and who knows how, DonGuido manages a rare win in ROI, HUH and add well to his lead while Ruffian moves along as well with a nice 3rd in Points. JolyB nails a nice bevy of points for a win in Points and a show in ROI as Plenilune double dips as well with a good showing for the place spot in both contests. And last but not least Criminal Type and ryonker share the honors for a super spot in the points contest.

We have another all stakes card coming up and a good one for sure thanks to JB . . . leading us all closer to the Breeders Cup now only 4 weeks away. Very Cooooool!!!

Points and ROI Totals through October 3, 2015

I am happy to say that some of us continue to gain points (how for myself, I'm not sure) but sad to say that we are losing the momentum of players. Very sad!!! We'll get through this year and Breeders Cup with maybe 9 or 10 still playing and then assess what happens going into next year, if there is one.

I'm somewhat depressed about the situation as I have been wit many of you as your self appointed quasi leader for some time. I don't like to give up but, but . . . and I will leave it at that for now. You can all see how things are going by the totals and who is and who is nor playing. We have a few weeks to go 'till the end of our year.

I hate to be a downer as we lead towards, to me the best time of the year, Breeders Cup, MLB playoffs and HS football but . . . but be thinking about next year as well . . . I am . . . and I assure you I will do all I can to go out, if that's it . . . kicking all of your butts for the Gallivan Cup. But will it be it???

Sorry, that's the crazy competitive me. I'm kinda too old for this . . . rrrrrrrrrrrright!!! Not really.

This will most likely be my last year to play. It's become monotonous for me and that tell's me it's time to take a break.

I will still play in the "here and there" contests, but no more "every weekend" type ones.
