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

Points and ROI Totals through Feb 23, 2019

Jolyb nails the points win and continues to show us all how it's done while Ruffian takes a 3rd in points nicely adding to her totals in the 2 hole. Cal828 is no slouch gaining 2nd place honors in points and Plenilune moves closer and closer to RQ in the 4 hole.

DonGuido accepts minor honors with a 4th in points and Indian Hemp lands a very nice win in ROI who is probably upset that he didn't have real money on his wager . . . very nice hit IH.

On we go, back to Gulfstream as we get closer and closer to finding real 3YO contenders for the Derby, we think?!

1. 271 JolyB (1st Pts and 3rd ROI)
2. 120 Ruffian-333 (3rd Pts)
3. 95 Cal828 (2nd Pts)
4. 87 Real Quiet
5. 85 Plenilune (2nd ROI)
6. 75 DonGuido (4th Pts)
7. 66 Roamin42
8. 53 Cruzan20024
9. 19 Indian Hemp (1st ROI)
10. 11 NJ Stinks
11. 9 El Prado

DonGuido takes the bridesmaid role in Pts moving closer to Plen and RQ taking aim on their spots. Cruzan 20024 nabs mmin or honors in Pts adding nicely to his totals nd El Prado jumps up a spot with a nice place showing in ROI.

Points and ROI Totals through March 9, 2019

JolyB continues to pour it on with another THREE PEAT win (setting multiple records this year and we have 7 months to go - see below) as Ruffian hangs tough but farrrrrr back in the 2 hole with a 2nd in Pts. Cal828 gains minor pts for his hold on the 3 spot and Real Quiet accumulates show points in Pts to hang tough in the 4 hole. DonGuido nails a rare score in ROI for show spot and takes the 5 rung of the ladder away from Plen edging closer to the RQ as well.

Roamin42 adds points minor honors for his stay in the 7 hole and the BIG PRIZE of the weekend goes to Indian Hemp for a THREE PEAT in ROI pushing him way up the ladder 4 spots to share the 5 hole with DG while NJH Stinks hits a 3rd place in ROI to help pad his totals.

So we have a remarkable demonstration so far t his year by JolyB. Something that has never happened here before. I guess I guess I used to be known as the "King" of Points . . . NOT ANYMORE. All I can say to JB is (and enjoy) . . . just replace "us" with "him".

https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/s...7&action=click Ya'gotta love the Disco Fever baby and JolyB . . . as I can see him skating circles around us on the rink for the rest of the year!!! Oh, and you can ask the rest of us "where we're goin . . . and we don't know)

or Luther Vandross if you like . . .https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/s...9&action=click


1. 343 JolyB (THREE PEAT again with 30 bonus pts)
2. 133 Ruffian-333 (2nd Pts)
3. 104 Cal828 (4th ROI)
4. 92 Real Quiet (3rd Pts)
5. 91 DonGuido (2nd ROI)
91 Indian Hemp (THREE PEAT in ROI with 30 bonus pts)
7. 87 Plenilune
8. 71 Roamin42
9. 59 Cruzan20024 (4th Pts)
10. 19 El Prado
11. 16 NJ Stinks (3rd ROI)

Points nd ROI Totals through March 16, 2019

Alighty then JolyB adds to his mega total with a mere 3rd in Pts, while Ruffian takes the Pts win to secure her hold in 2nd place and Real Quiet hits a win in ROI nicely adding to his totals on the 4th rung of the ladder.

And we have a log jamb in the 5th spot as DonGuido, Indian Hemp and Plenilune will battle it out for a gain in the next contest. I don't think I've seen a three way tie in all my years here and there. But if anyone would know, it would be our head statistician Real Quiet.

Thanks for playing and lets see how the Fairgrounds treats us and if a 3YO runner in the Louisiana Derby can put a sparkle in our eyes leading to the Derby that's about a month and a half away. Oh and please keep those cards and letters coming in!!!

1. 348 JolyB (3rd Pts)
2. 144 Ruffian-333 (1st Pts)
3. 105 Cal828
4. 103 Real Quiet (1st ROI)
5. 95 DonGuido (4th Pts/Tie)
95 Indian Hemp (4th Pts/Tie)
95 Plenilune (2nd Pts)
8. 72 Roamin42
9. 60 Cruzan20024
10. 20 El Prado
11. 16 NJ Stinks
