[DonGuido]

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!

Points and ROI Totals through June 6, 2020

Ok, kinda back to normal. Cal828 adds to stash with a nice 2nd in both contests as JolyB keeps moving up up up as well with nice win in ROI. DonGuido seems to be waking up a bit as he nails the win in Pts and Ruffian333 adds a few eggs in her basket with a 4th in Pts, not to leave out Plenilune landing a nice 3rd in Pts.

So in this very stressful, volatile and crazy year in many wanys as we all maintain some semblance of fun and togetherness here. This is a good thing and this is a good place to keep it going. Thanks to all of you for making this happen !!!

Lets see where the Hudson River eel pizza man, takes us next. Remember, it's eely eely good!!!

1. 415 Cal828 (2nd ROI and Pts)
2. 317 JolyB (1st ROI)

Points and ROI Totals thr0ugh June 20, The Belmont, 2020


So we have double points and extras as some of cashed in big this week on both. Our Colorado Kitten consulted her crystal ball and hit the Extras big time by nailing the straight exacta, last place horse Jungle Runner and closest to the lengths back being 39 1/4, she said 33. Other Extras beneficiaries were DG, Cal and JB who called for Jungle Runner to finish last. Not as many cashed in on the extras as I thought would.

See totals and changes below. And I also added the points for 6/13 contest I overlooked. Thanks for playing and we'll see where RQ takes us next.

1. 441 Cal828 (2nd ROI and 10 Extra Pts)
2. 349 JolyB (4th ROI and 10 Extra Pts) (3rd Pts and 2nd ROI 6/13)
3. 316 DonGuido (3rd Pts and 10 Extra Pts) (4th Pts 6/13)
4. 311 Ruffian-333 (4th Pts and 30 Extra Pts) (1st Pts 6/13)
5. 250 Real Quiet (1st Pts)
6. 142 Plenilune (2nd Pts and 3rd ROI)
7. 79 Roamin42 (1st ROI 6/13)

I guess I shouldn't be helping JolyB in his quest to dethrone me as the leader, but that will likely happen anyway with his inspired play. I think there is something amiss with the last totals. Joly's totals didn't change from 6/20 to 6/27 which I think can't be right. With a 1st in ROI and a 3rd in Points wouldn't he have earned 15 or 16 points on 6/27? Apologies, if I am wrong.
