No other player has won a points contest with over 200 points. The oddity is that on the day Joly put up 231 points 3 other players scored over 200 and couldn't sniff out a win.

It seems so far this year we are all having a hard time breaking the century mark. What the heck is wrong with those horses???

It means that this crop had designated 2 year olds for their 2 year old races, and the 3 year olds are still waiting in the wings as races for them come up. The older horses retired, got hurt, or the trainers found out in time that the usual meds (and I use that term loosely) were now tested for. New York tightened their testing up considerably and at least one trainer did not win a race worth anything at the spa last year because his whole humongous stable got a summer cold and took a vacation. He's at least entering some this year, but the usual championship run did not happen. It did show up approximately 30 seconds after the testing was boosted, though.

As noted earlier Joly B is the master of three peats and has four. No one else has won three in a row. With that being said there is a barn burner side contest going on between JB and Don Guido. Since 2014 when we moved here to the Derby Trail Don Guido has won 48 points contests to Joly's 47. Ruffian is in third with 33 points wins.

Are you sure I never had a Three-Peat in all those years . . . Ya goota be kiddin me . . . since I'm kiddin you. Check your figures Mr. . . . well maybe not hard to believe but I'll take your word fo it.

With all those wins Don it is hard to believe that you haven't nailed a three peat. 8 times you had a shot at it but Arletta (2), Ruffian (2), Plenilune, RYonker (2) and Real Quiet derailed you. Thats 5 times a filly took you down. Diud you ever do anything to incur their wrath?

Yes like this year if I'm correct, Roamin nailed me due to a bunch of scratches keeping me from a 3 peat and I won the next week that coulda given me a freekin 4 peat. Hey, such is life and we all move on, especially in the wonderful cyber world of ours. I'm not complaining just well lamenting a bit. :} And for the fillies here, I've always loved the fillies but I guess they don't "love" me?

Thanks RQ as always for the tidbits of our game!!!
