Points and ROI Totals through The Preakness May 16, 2015

So we all know it's great to get points (double points) during the TC races and the ones who did reaped the "benies" as DonGuido climbs into the 200 club gaining ground on our fearless leader JB and Arletta jumps over CT to snag the 3rd rung of the ladder. Ruffian-333 takes home the big points of the day hitting in both contests and moves on up to the four hole and digger leaps over RQ to take the seven spot away.

Last but never least ryonker has a nice 2nd place finish in points and moves 2 spots collecting the second position in the lower tier while Indian Hemp throws in a very nice superfecta to gain valued points as well.

Congrats to the pointsgetters and on to the west coast for a change.

1. 242 JolyB
2. 210 DonGuido (3rd Pts)
3. 191 Arletta (2nd ROI)

Points and ROI Totals through May 23, 2015

Looks like the "rich" got a little richer as DonGuido continues his pursuit of our leader JB after landing a 2nd in Points while Areltta cracking the 200 mark nabs the Points win to stay close behind in the 3 hole. Ruffian-333 nails a big bucket of cyber cash winning the ROI contest and hangs tough in the 4 spot with Criminal Type staying strong not too far back in the 5 hole. And Real Quiet rattles his "cage" and taps digger on the shoulder in the 8th spot landing with a nice score in Points.

On to Evangeline Downs to see how much "fun" we can have there.

1. 243 JolyB
2. 218 DonGuido (2nd Pts)

So I have some catching up to do. And the big mover is the Colorado Feline with a crystal ball for admittedly longshot greys and names she likes, Ruffian moves up to take over the 2 spot and after that you can see for yourself. Not feeling to well and ready for bed but I needed to get this up to date. It was almost keeping me up at night . . .

It's getting tighter at the top but the sleeping giant JB, I have a feeling, is about to wake up after a long spring nap. RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

Points and ROI Totals through June 20, 2015

Ruffian adds to her total to move much, much closer to the leader JB hitting a fourth in Points along with DonGuido who nibbles away at the lead as well not too far behind. Arletta stay strong in the 3 hole with a third in Points while Plenilune grabs a big score staying on the 6th rung of the ladder for her first in ROI and gains ground on CT. Real Quiet continues his hot streak in both contests nailing a second in Points and digger takes 4 steps up for his 4th in ROI as our island hopper Cruzan200246 brings in a nice gain with his first in Points and a second in ROI.

Some of our regulars a taking a break I guess but hope to see them soon and since summer is here now, enjoy, stay cool and don't forget the sunscreen. Let's see what Santa Anita has in store for us again this week.

Not much to go around this week at uhhh, where was that we played, as JolyB maintains his ever shrinking lead with a 4th in Points and DonGuido pulls in a win in Points to climb a little closer to the top two, taking us to the Spa. Arletta stays close on DG's heels with a nice 2nd in Points and Real Quiet rounds out the only point getters this week and tapping into the 200 mark with a 3rd in Points. No ROI to consider as we move onto the best of the late summer/fall racing around.

Thanks for playing and see ya at the Spa!!!!!!!!!!!

Points and ROI Totals through July 25, 2015

So DonGuido jumps up to lead the pack for now with a REPEAT win in Pts and Ruffian take over the 2 hole hanging tuff with a 2nd in Pts as Arletta remains tight on the 4th rung. Plenilune hits well in both contests and has a strong hold on the magic seven hole and Cruzan200246 tabs in a handy 2nd in ROI to ad to his top ten position.

DG wants to do the same again but with a new card - Spa and Del Mar . . . a combo at this time of year that's hard to beat!!!

Thanks for playing and I luvs all ah yas!

Points and ROI Totals through August 1, 2015

DonGuido takes on minor points and hangs tough in the lead while JolyB also garners a few points but moves up one spot to join Ruffian in the two hole. Arletta lands in the cat bird seat, taking us back to the Spa, for the week and remains strong on the 4th rung of the ladder . . . and Plenilune does herself proud for nailing a win in ROI and a second in Points to move up one, over CT, in the 5th spot. Last but not least Real Quiet pulls down a nice 2nd in ROI and strengthens his strong hold on the 7 hole.

Saratoga draws us in and it's a great time of the year!!!

Getting us up to date quickly we have a couple of moves of note, seeing Arletta take over the 2nd rung of the ladder and swedejxn takes over the top of the lower tier. Back from a short vacation and freshening I'll get back to my usual scribe duties and lets see what Del Mar has in store for us.

Points and ROI Totals through August 22, 2015

OK now we have Gweeds (first time this year for "Gweeds") up tight and crossing the 300 barrier, holding a marginally comfortable lead while JolyB moves up and out of the 3 hole deadlock to the two spot. Plenilune is the most consistent of us all for many past weeks hitting again in one or the other or both contests . . . truly nice handicapping Plen. Criminal Type finds rewards in playing the name game again while garnering some nice points for a 1st in ROI and small tidbit in points. "Hey if it ain't broke don't fix it".

Not much other action to throw on the board this time. The next card will be FREAKING AWESOME and we may be able to witness history with to me a horse that can be compared to one in a million or maybe a billion.

Have I mentioned we haven't seen him at his best yet. Just wait!!! Thanks for playing and good luck at the Spa one more time.

Points and ROI totals through August 29, 2015

Gweeds helps to widen his lead by cashing in on a REPEAT win as JolyB nabs another 2nd place in Points hanging tough in the 2 hole. Arletta chimes in with a 4th in Points and Ruffian-333 scores big by winning the ROI contest and will change places with Arletta in the top ten. And Real Quiet lands some nice points for scores in both contests.

One more time this year at the Spa and we'll see if we can figure it out any better than we have been.

1. 336 DonGuido (Repeat in Points)
2. 297 JolyB (2nd Pts again)
3. 293 Ruffian-333 (1st ROI)

Points and ROI Totals through September 5, 2015

OK now, DonGuido hangs on to the lead for now and takes on minor honors this week in a tie for the super spot while Ruffian-333 lands a big repeat win in ROI and jumps way up to nudge DG in the back landing on the second rung of the ladder. JolyB seems to like (not much I'm sure) the bridesmaid role for the 3rd week in a row and has to step back one spot as well. Areltta continues her slow but methodical climb up the ladder nailing good point for a win in Pts and Criminal Type travels the same road as DG this week to share super honors. Last but never least ryonker hangs up a tie for third with Ruff and breaks into the Century Club.

Let's see where Ms Arletta takes us now that Saratoga and Delmar are no more. Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letters coming in.


1. 340 DonGuido (tied 4th in Pts)
2. 326 Ruffian-333 (ROI REPEAT and tied 3rd in Pts)

[b]Points and ROI Totals through September 19, 2015[/B

Catching up for two contests as DonGuido remains on top with Ruffian close behind and JolyB maintaining a close 3rd. Arletta is there keeping pace as Criminal Type jumps up to close in on the 5 hole. Real Quiet reminds us he's not to be forgotten and Cruzan 200246 gains needed ground to move up one rung on the top ten ladder. And ryonker helps his cause to stay in the top ten.

We get close to the Gallivan Cup and the Breeders Cup Marathon. This weeks contest coming up should be a good warm up.

Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letter coming in!!!

Points and ROI Totals through September 26, 2015

Somehow, and who knows how, DonGuido manages a rare win in ROI, HUH and add well to his lead while Ruffian moves along as well with a nice 3rd in Points. JolyB nails a nice bevy of points for a win in Points and a show in ROI as Plenilune double dips as well with a good showing for the place spot in both contests. And last but not least Criminal Type and ryonker share the honors for a super spot in the points contest.

We have another all stakes card coming up and a good one for sure thanks to JB . . . leading us all closer to the Breeders Cup now only 4 weeks away. Very Cooooool!!!

Points and ROI Totals through October 3, 2015

I am happy to say that some of us continue to gain points (how for myself, I'm not sure) but sad to say that we are losing the momentum of players. Very sad!!! We'll get through this year and Breeders Cup with maybe 9 or 10 still playing and then assess what happens going into next year, if there is one.

I'm somewhat depressed about the situation as I have been wit many of you as your self appointed quasi leader for some time. I don't like to give up but, but . . . and I will leave it at that for now. You can all see how things are going by the totals and who is and who is nor playing. We have a few weeks to go 'till the end of our year.

I hate to be a downer as we lead towards, to me the best time of the year, Breeders Cup, MLB playoffs and HS football but . . . but be thinking about next year as well . . . I am . . . and I assure you I will do all I can to go out, if that's it . . . kicking all of your butts for the Gallivan Cup. But will it be it???

Sorry, that's the crazy competitive me. I'm kinda too old for this . . . rrrrrrrrrrrright!!! Not really.

This will most likely be my last year to play. It's become monotonous for me and that tell's me it's time to take a break.

I will still play in the "here and there" contests, but no more "every weekend" type ones.

Points and ROI Totals through October 10, 2015

So we are losing our critical mass and the Gallivan Cup will be spought after by those that remain, looks like . . . no big deal as it is as it should be or something like that.

Anyway DonGuido must be sleeping with the horses, carrying a four leaf clover and sitting on an lucky Irish horse shoe . . . to account for his recent accomplishments as he soars to the lead while JolyB takes over the 2nd rung of the ladder capturing a 2nd in pts again and a second in ROI. Ruffian drops down one sharing a 3rd in Pts but hangs Ruff Tuff or is it Tuff Ruff in third and Arletta nabs points for her cause with a 4th in Pts. And last but never least Real Quiet helps solidify hi hold on the 7 spot holding hands with Tuff Ruff for a 3rd in Pts.

Ever so close to the Breeders Cup and the cooler weather and the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat . . . I think Jim McKay started that phrase, didn't he? Enjoy the fall weather as it will soon arrive here in Texas I hope!!!

BTW Ruffian - don't get mad at me, I'm just funnin with ya!!!

1. 432 DonGuido (1st Pts - REPEAT and 1st ROI - SWEEP +40 Bonus Pts)

Points and ROI totals through October 17,2015

JolyB hangs tough in the 2 hole with a 3rd in Points but Ruffian slides by JB nabbing a 1st in Points and bonus points for the Sep ROI winner. Arletta rings in a nice 2nd in ROI to maintain the 3rd rung of the ladder while Plenilune adds to her totals with a 4th in Points and Aug ROI bonus points keeping the 5 spot. And Criminal Type solidified his hold on the 6th hole with a 2nd in Points as Real Quiet nails the winning numbers for ROI sitting tight in the lucky 7 seat. And Cruzan200246 also adds to his total with 10 bonus points for the Jul ROI win. All snubbing DG out of the mix for a change. I was getting real tired of seeing my name in bold, seriously.

It's always better to be lucky than good! Don't forget that!!! It's served me well for many a year.

Thanks for those who are still hanging in. It will be esy to pick the top 10 or 9 or 8 or 7 players to go for the Gallivan Cup this year.

Where's Cruzan, digger, swede and the rest? What's the FREAKIN deal here anyway?! I say that with a simple smile on my face . . .
