Points and ROI Totals for 2017-2018 Contest Year

[DonGuido]

Points and ROI Totals through July 21, 2018

Hardly and movement except that Cal828 jumps over EP to take over the 12 spot. JolyB maintains the lead with excellent scores in each contest DonGuido gains a little ground in the 3 hole while RealQuiet adds to his total as well getting very comfortable on the 4th rung of the ladder. And Banter nails the win in ROI adding nicely to her score.

Thanks for playing and sorry but it's hard in my mind to Justify the rest of the year without watching him run. I understand why they had to do it, but . . . well . . . enough said. Let's enjoy this wonderful sport at the Spa and Where the Turf Meets the Surf for the short period we can.


1. 424 JolyB (1st Pts and 2nd ROI)
2. 390 Ruffian
3. 340 DonGudio (2nd ROI)
4. 326 Real Quiet (3rd Pts)
5. 228 Plenilune

Points and ROI Totals through July 28, 2018

OK, it appears the JolyB is putting on his professor hat again at the Spa and easily pulling away from all of us as Ruffian adds minor point as does DonGuido both stay pat in their positions. Real Quiet hits a nice 2nd in ROI to creep closer to DG and Cal828 adds points for 2nd place honors in the Pts contest.

It's looking like JB has the Spa all figured out, so we can say bye bye and play for bridesmaid honors the rest of way to the Breeders Cup. Lets see how the Aug 4 results add up. I know the Spa is not being kind to me . . . but then again what's new???

1. 455 JolyB (1st Pts REPEAT +20 bonus Pts)
2. 394 Ruffian (4th Pts)
3. 345 DonGudio (3rd Pts)
4. 334 Real Quiet (2nd ROI)
5. 218 Plenilune
6. 121 Cruzan
7. 76 NJ Stinks
8. 66 Indian Hemp
10. 76 Roamin
11. 29 Banter
12. 13 Cal828 (2nd Pts)
13. 2 ElPrado

Points and ROI Totals through August 4, 2018

JolyB is putting on a Secretariat-Belmont performance with the first THREE PEAT of the year adding "gobs" of points to his leading status while Ruffian continues to add nicely to her totals as well gaining points in each contest. Real Quiet hits a first in ROI and a second in Pts which allows him to leap over DG to regain the 3rd rung of the ladder and Cal828 keeps climbing the ladder in the lower tier.

Is a FOUR BAGGER in the mix for JB? Never been done before but if anyone can do it, JB can . . . we'll see as we take to Arlington Park this week. Thanks all for playing and keep those cards and letters coming in.


1. 503 JolyB (1st Pts Three Peat +30 bonus Pts and a 2nd in ROI)
2. 403 Ruffian (3rd in both Pts and ROI)

Quick update since I'm way behind by letting real life get in the way of my fun here . . . oh well, not retired yet and still loving my job so it could be worse. Now back to the contest, after that short "who cares DG" editorial.

Points and ROI Totals through August 18, 2018

Not much change except DG is playing "tag your it" with RQ to recapture the 3 hole while JB maintains his even more commanding lead out front as Ruffian cuts into it slightly. Update coming soon for Oct 25 to get us current. Apologies for my tardiness.

Points and ROI Totals through August 25, 2018

Labor Day Weekend update with lots of yard work and home stuff and I LABORed way to hard and today I may rest up . . . but anyway back to the totals. No change in the order asJolyB continues his smooth and easy ride to the Year's Handicap Champion while Ruffian adds nicely to her total in the 2 spot and DonGuido widens the separation from RQ adding minor points. Plenilune nails the win in ROI and increase her points totals hanging tough on the fifth rung of the ladder. Banter nabs a place position in ROI and Cal 828 hits show spot in the Points contest both add nicely to their totals.

Let's see how the last Saturday card at Saratoga treats us, giving me a "no show" "no points" . . . with guests visting and just too much going on. Always a sad day when racing has to wait again until next year at the Spa.

Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letters coming in.


1. 530 JolyB (2nd Pts)
2. 439 Ruffian (1st Pts)
3. 362 DonGudio (4th Pts tie)

5. 233 Plenilune (1st ROI and 4th Pts tie)
6. 139 Cruzan

10. 46 Banter (2nd ROI)

I was waiting for you to pounce on that like the feisty catastrophic feline you are sensing slightest odor of cat-nipping or in my case cat-napping. Glad you got a catatonic cackle out of it, since I did to as soon as I quicly went back to correct it. For some reason September doesn't exist in my brain this year. I did that once at work too and glad it didn't go out to the client. Maybe I'm blocking it out since my birthday is in September and I'm tired of having them!!!
