Points and ROI Totals through December 5, 2015

So starting off the year it appears that Ruffian and JB are trading off on points wins (conspiracy maybe

) to keep the rest of us at bay . . . at least for a while. Anyway Ruffian continues to excel early on as she always does it seems each year out of the gate garnering nice points in both contests with place spots and JolyB is not letting her get too far away as he takes the Points Contest in his usual "tough card" fashion.

DonGuido catches lightning in a bottle he's not used to with a win in ROI and a tie for 3rd in Points moving him up the ladder. Will the real DG please stand up? Real Quiet nabs the super spot in points and hangs tough in the early middle of the pack. And digger shows up in the gate for the first time this year and is rewarded with a tie for 3rd in Pts.

It's so early and we have miles and miles to go. Enjoy the ride, truly and I aim to.

Thanks for playing and being here . . . y'all knows how much I luvs yas!!!

45 Rufffian (2nd Pts and 2nd ROI)
37 JolyB (1st Pts)
22 Ryonker
22 DonGuido (3rd tie Pts and 1st ROI)
18 Criminal Type
17 Real Quiet (4th in Pts)
13 plenilune
13 Indian Hemp
11 swedejxn
5 Cruzan
5 digger (3rd tie in Pts)
3 NJ Stinks
2 Roamin

Points and ROW Totals through December 12, 2015

First off I am announcing the coining of a new acronym "ROW" since the typo was so well received "ROW" replaces ROI, meaning Return On Winvestment". You asked for it now we got it . . . and I kinda like it . . . makes me smile!!!

Back to business, I will still say, "will the real DonGuido please stand up", going off on a rampage with a repeat in ROW (Never happened in all his years) and a SWEEP to add to it, catapulting himself past JB and Ruff and taking away their tit-for-tat early goings on and garnering a very early commanding lead. I just have to say, nice job . . . self!!!

And adding to dual winners, JolyB does his thing again by scoring in both contests to move up to the two spot and Ryonker1 lands nice points for a 2nd in Pts. Adding to multiple scoring is Digger hitting on the show spot for both contests landing 3 spots up from before.

Remember ROI now = ROW, Return On Winvestment.

Come to think of it, it's kind of Elmer Fuddish isn't it? I like it even more now but don't get me going on Mr Fudd . . . would you accept WOW = ROI, Weturn On Winvestment? Now that's just widiculous.

83 DonGuido (Repeat in ROW + Bonus Pts & a SWEEP + Bonus Pts) . . . it's time to take a nap DG
48 JolyB (2nd ROW and 4th Pts)
46 Rufffian
30 Ryonker1 (2nd Pts)
19 Criminal Type
18 Real Quiet
14 plenilune
14 Digger (3rd in Pts and 3rd in ROW)
13 Indian Hemp
12 swedejxn
6 Cruzan200246
4 NJ Stinks
3 Roamin

Points and ROW Totals through December 19, 2015

JolyB stays in the mix as he adds points for his 2nd in Pts while Ryonker1 pulls down the win in Pts hanging tough in the 4 spot. Plenilune wins the ROI and hits a nice 3rd place in Pts jumping over 2 players to take on the 5 hole and Digger and Cruzan200246 grab the same points landing in a tie for 4th in Pts.

Back to Guflstream for our first contest of 2016 and before you know it we'll be talking Derby.

Points a ROW Totals through January 9, 2016

There are changes in the ranks and we'll start to number the top 10. This is a quick update which I do now and then. Busy, busy with family stuff and work is starting off with a big bang at the Dallas Zoo this year. Sorry, but I'll get back to the norm (if there is one) soon.

Big notes are that JB continues to show up somewhere or everywhere every week and congrats to RQ for an excellent SWEEP and a BIG move up the ladder. And Plen and Ruff not doing too bad either week after week!!!

Points and ROW Totals through January 16, 2016

DonGuido manages to add to his lead by squeaking out a tie for 4th in Pts and Real Quiet stands tall in the two spot finding a 3rd in Pts as JolyB locks arms with DG for a tie adding show points and hangs tough in the 3 hole. The big winner of the day was swedejxn with a very nice SWEEP jumping from the 10th to the 5th rung on the ladder . . . way to go swede. And not to be left out Criminal Type takes in Place points for the day adding to his nest egg.

Tough card and thanks truly for playing. Keep those cards and letters coming in . . . please!!!

Points and ROW Totals through January 23 2016

So there was a little movement here and there as JolyB keeps on keepin on continuing his climb up the ladder to the 2 hole with a nice 1st in Points while Ruffian hangs tough in the 4 hole with 3rd place showing. Plenilune continues here points collection as she nabs a nice bundle for a score in each contest jumping to the 5 spot as Ryonker1 pulls in 2nd place ROI points and moves up to the 6th rung of the ladder. The big winner of the day Criminal Type gains lotsa ground nailing a 1st in ROI with a killer stash of cyber gold and a 4th in Pts. And last but not least, Digger garners points for 4th place honors

Thanks for playing and I may be in and out for awhile since we have decided to put our house on the market and most of you know what that entails. But I'll squeeze out a little time to stay in the game. Lets see how Gulfstream treats us as we start to make a little sense in separating the 3YO bees knees from the wanna bees.

Points and ROI Totals through Feb 20, 2016

OK, I am swamped with make ready work at our house so we can put in on the market soon. Here are new totals adding up the past 3 contests. I believe I have all points accounted for, it not let me know.

I will do all I can to get back in the DG role and groove as soon as I can. Sorry for the delay and lack of attention. Lots of moving around and one player of note is that RQ is really knocking it out of the park and soars to the lead with a Repeat and SWEEP. Cruz200246 also makes a big leap into the top ten with a SWEEP. Way to go RQ and Cruz!!!

I'm behind again and the only excuse is this house selling and buying is taking over my life but we had 6 showings yesterday (on the first day or listing) and will have 2 or 3 more today. If we are lucky we should have multiple offers to consider tomorrow. Thanks for allowing me to ventilate and now on to business here. Send in a offer and the house could be yours.

Adding up for the past 3 weeks, digger and Real Quiet capture the most points 29 and 27 respectively and CT chimes in with 23. The rest are seen in the new totals. Big moves by RQ to nudge JB from behind and CT jumping up to the 5 hole while swedejxn and digger make steps forward as well.

I hope to get back in the grove here again very soon . . .

Now we are up to date and hopefully somewhat back to normal. JB makes a nice move scratching RQ on the back and Ruffian nails one as well holding the 3 hole along with Cruz moving up one to the 6th rung. Plenilune adds to her totals as does digger. Better boring narrative next week but we are up to date.

Points and ROI Totals through May 14, 2016

We'll not much change at the top as Real Quiet rolls on with masterful near perfection and JolyB keeps him in sight with his expected racing prowess. Ruffian keeps on singing "Rocky Mountain High" and showing off her cat claw pics. Ryonker hangs tough week in and week out but slips a rung on the ladder to DonGuido who surprises himself with a long awaited win in Pts after taking a necessary but reluctant extended hiatus from the game.

On to Pimlico and the Preakness to see if Nyquist can keep his umblemished record going into the Belmont. Gonna be tough especially if it rains like they are saying it will.

Points and ROI Totals through July 2, 2016

Real Quiet continues his march up the path of least resistance and may be very hard to catch while JolyB maintains his professorship by just about always being in the money. Criminal Type stays hot and higher than the Rockies hitting in every contest it seems like every week while DonGuido gets back in the game and the groove recording a win in Points moving up a couple of rungs on the ladder to the 7 hole. swedejxn nails a very nice win in ROI while hanging tough in the 10 spot and Elprado adds valuable points for her 3rd in ROI and is getting close to taking the lead in the lower tier.

And I'm very happy to report, after many crazy weeks, DG is back!!!

Real Quiet lands a 1st in Pts and keeps marching on, leading us from a distant vantage point while JolyB continues to be in the money most every week hitting the show spot in Pts. Criminal Type stays high in the Rockies with a 2nd in Pts and Ruffian goes right along in the higher altitude with a nice 1st in ROI and 4th in Pts). Ryonker1 nabs the pace spot in ROI and Digger adds points to jump over Plen with his 3rd in ROI.
