Points and ROI Totals through March 21,2020
Lets get this all updated on this abysmal showing at The Fairgrounds. I know we can all do better than this although one Player knocked it out of the park!!! Cal828 remains relatively quiet adding pts for a place spot in Pts and the same for DonGuido adding minor honors. RealQuiet is not quiet at all and the home run hitter this week as he gathers a very nice SWEEP and a REPEAT adding 40 bonus points and a leap in the 3 hole, very nice RQ. JolyB shares place honors with Cal hanging tough in the 4 hole and Roamin42 bolsters his hold on the 9th rung of the ladder with a 4th in Pts. We can't help but practice social and cyber distancing here and that's a good thing but really, make sure everyone here stays safe and rides this crazy period out without coming down with the bad CV19. It all kinda reminds me of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. I'm sure there's at least one or two shows similar to what we are experiencing not. Thanks for playing and see ya next week where ever RQ takes us. 1. 320 Cal828 (2nd Pts tie) 2. 227 DonGuido (3rd Pts) 3. 167 Real Quiet (1st Pts with a REPEAT and SWEEP with his ROI win!!!) 4. 158 JolyB (2nd Pts again tie) 5. 154 Ruffian-333 6. 84 Plenilune 7. 46 NJ Stinks 8. 34 Indian Hemp 9. 31 Roamin42 (4th Pts) 10. 24 Cruzan200246 11. 21 Alli

Real Quiet remains on a hot streak staying strong in the 3 hole while JolyB starts finding his winning ways stride but now shares the 4th rung of the ladder with Riffian with her win in ROI and show spot in Pts. Alli move up one spot as she nails a nice place win in Pts. Stay safe and use good judgement if you need to venture out into this crazy world right now. Here's hoping all is AOK with everyone. See ya in the gate Saturday. 1. 321 Cal828 2. 228 DonGuido 3. 178 Real Quiet (2nd ROI and 4th Pts) 4. 169 JolyB (1st Pts) 169 Ruffian-333 (1st ROI and 3rd Pts) 6. 85 Plenilune 7. 47 NJ Stinks 8. 35 Indian Hemp 9. 32 Roamin42 10. 29 Alli (2nd Pts) 11. 24 Cruzan200246

Points and ROI Totals through April 11,2020
Two contests behind and no good reason. Lazy maybe, what else do have to do anyway. New alignment of the top 5 and some switching in position below as well. Stay safe, stay inside unless you just have to eat and all those other life critical activities. Get out and enjoy the fresh air when you can but keep that recommended distance.[  . . . . . ]We are all lucky to have this outlet, aren't we, as well as a means of communicating amongst friends in good taste and non-confrontational exchange. Take care and best to you and yours. 1. 334 Cal828 (4/4 4th Pts and 3rd ROI, 4/11 3rd Pts) 2. 237 DonGuido (4/11 2nd Pts) 3. 203 JolyB (4/4 1st Pts REPEAT and 4th ROI)45. 185 Ruffian-333 (4/4 3rd Pts, 4/11 1st Pts) 4. 185 Ruffian-333 (4/4 3rd Pts, 4/11 1st Pts) 5. 183 Real Quiet (4/11 4th Pts) 6. 87 Plenilune 7. 56 NJ Stinks (4/4 2nd ROI) 8. 44 Roamin42 (4/4 ist ROI) 9 38 Alli (4/4 2nd Pts) 10. 37 Indian Hemp 11. 24 Cruzan200246 __________________

Points and ROI Totals through May 2, 2020
Catching up for two weeks and with double points given for May 2 as several reap the rewards. Cal828 continues his strong hold as the leader and JolyB, nails a REPEAT and a bevy of double points and moves up to the 2nd rung of the ladder. DonGuido drops down to the 3 hole despite his scores on both dates. Ruffian is not too far behind him cashing in on double points and scores on both days. RealQuiet nabs a nie win in ROI for double points standing pat in the 5th spot and Plenilune adds minor honors in 6th place. NJ Stinks hits for place honors in ROI the week before nd Roamin lands a very nice ROI win the same day. Thanks for playing and a fond goodbye to Oaklawn. It'll be nice to venture forth to another venue or two or three for a change. Take care and be safe! 1. 368 Cal828 (4/25 4th Pts, 5/2 3rd Pts and 2nd ROI) 2. 268 JolyB (4/251st Pts - REPEAT, 5/2 2nd Pts ans 3rd ROI) 3. 251 DonGuido (4/25 3rd Pts, 5/2 4th Pts) 4. 223 Ruffian-333 (4/25 2nd Pts, 5/2 1st Pts) 5. 208 Real Quiet (5/2 1st ROI) 6. 97 Plenilune (4/25 4th Pts) 7. 67 NJ Stinks (4/25 2nd ROI) 8. 58 Roamin42 (4/25 1st ROI) 9. 42 Alli 10. 41 Indian Hemp 11. 24 Cruzan200246

Not much to "brag" about as the top four put more points in the baskets. DonGuido finally got all of his horses (not ducks) in a row and pulled out a win in the Points contest. Other conquests as shown below. Hmmm, now we just need to figure out where to go next. 1. 376 Cal828 (2nd Pts) 2. 272 JolyB (4th Pts) 3. 262 DonGuido (1st Pts) 4. 228 Ruffian-333 (3rd Pts) 5. 209 Real Quiet 6. 98 Plenilune 7. 67 NJ Stinks 8. 59 Roamin42 9. 43 Alli 10. 41 Indian Hemp 11. 24 Cruzan200246

Points and ROI Totals through September 19, 2020
Well since e have not played the points contest, for some reason the ROI Contests for the past two weeks have not been kind to anyone here. Since there are no points to award the totals remain the same. Lets see how the Preakness Card treats us. And lets hope Plenilune is feeling better and gets back in the mix. Our best thoughts to you Plen, we all LOVE YOU!!! 1. 504 Cal828 2. 436 JolyB 3. 397 Ruffian-333 4. 382 DonGuido 5. 335 Real Quiet 6. 194 Plenilune 7. 166 Roamin42 8. 88 NJ Stinks 9. 85 Cruzan200246 10. 82 Indian Hemp 11. 75 Alli

Points and ROI Contest Totals through October 17, 2020
Ok so I have a bunch of catching up to do . . . many apologies to all but sometimes real life just overwhelms you. Starting off there were no points rewarded for Sep 26 since it was an ROI only contest and nobody made any profit at all. Now for the recap of 10/3, 10/10 and 10/17. This is gonna take awhile. To shorten it a bit I'll give the cribb notes highlights and you can see the points totals changes, and there are several big ones, below. First off, RQ and Plan have been dominating the ROI contests lately, be nice if they sent me a little of that MOJO . . . because I suck there. RQ is nailing big bucks as is Plen and Plen has a REPEAT in ROI for 10/10 and 10/17 . . . very nice Ma'am!!! Yours truly puts on his Points prowess hat nabbing some very nice points totals for that contest with a REPEAT, albeit a tie with Plen and Cal earlier, in the points contest. Is DG getting warmed up after a lay off to pounce on the Breeders Cup contest and take home his 4th or 5th Gallivan Cup (sorry lost count) since we've been doing this??? Ya never know about DG on the big days and BC days are the biggest and very close.. Are JB and even Ruff laying down a little on us to lull us to sleep, pre-Breeders Cup, since neither have been overtly present lately, especially JB. Neither has won a contest in some time and that's scary. And don't ever take the under on JB when it counts, kinda like my Clemson Tigers this year (sorry had to get a Clemson note in) And Cal, your mixing it up and hanging tough with our stalwarts. I'm thinking you're like a cheetah waiting for your chance to run down any of us. Changes - Don Guido moves up one and Cruzan the same. So here are the latest totals showing points added: 1. 524 Cal828 (plus 20) 2. 442 JolyB (plus 6) 3. 429 DonGuido (plus 47 w/ a REPEAT in Pts) 4. 421 Ruffian-333 (plus 24) 5. 366 Real Quiet (plus 31) 6. 243 Plenilune (plus 49 w/ a REPEAT in ROI) 7. 170 Roamin42 8. 91 Cruzan200246 9. 90 NJ Stinks 10. 82 Indian Hemp 11. 75 Alli

Points and ROI Totals through October 24, 2020
Cal828 continues his commanding lead and looks like he'll take home the Handicapping Year Honors for the Points Contest, while DonGuido has stepped up his game over the last three weeks and jumped over JB to take over the 2nd rung of the ladder. JolyB hits a nice Place tally in ROI and Ruffian holds on the 4 spot with a 2nd in Pts. Real Quiet nabs the show spot in Pts adding to his totals and Roamin42 takes on minor honors in Pts to hang tough in the 7th position. So we're all taking a week off to freshen up for Breeders Cup mind benders. enjoy the horse racing brain vacation and VOTE if you haven't already done so. Thanks all for playing and we'll see you in the gate at Keeneland next. 1. 535 Cal828 (1st ROI) 2. 470 DonGuido (1st Pts w/30 Bonus Pts for THREEPEAT) 3. 450 JolyB (2nd ROI) 4. 429 Ruffian-333 (2nd Pts) 5. 371 Real Quiet (3rd Pts) 6. 244 Plenilune 7. 175 Roamin42 (4th Pts) 8. 92 Cruzan200246 9. 90 NJ Stinks 10. 82 Indian Hemp 11. 75 Alli
