Points and ROI Totals through March 13, 2017

All right now DonGuido appear to be pulling all of his Irish 4 leaf clovers and continues to pickem and add to his rather large lead on the pack with a repeat win. JolyB adds well deserved points for a nice 2nd in ROi and Real Quiet does the same to his total with a super spot in pts. Ruffian gains a little ground adding to her 4th spot in the gate and Plenilune creeps right up never so close in the 5 hole. Seems like the toppers got all the "glory" at the Belmont swamp this week.

Lets hope Pimlico avoids the rain and we have a more typical race day to handicap. Thanks for playing as we are truly about half way (or more) through the handicapping year.

Maybe RQ can give us an update as to where we all stand with the more important aspect of wagering . . . ROI totals and wins, etc so far this year. It's all truly about wagering and not picken!!!

Thanks in advance RQ!!!

1. 322 DonGuido (1st Pts + 20Bonus Pts for the REPEAT)
2. 220 JolyB (2nd ROI)
3. 211 Real Quiet (4th Pts)
4. 184 Ruffian-333 (3rd ROI)
5. 170 Plenilune (2nd Pts and 1st ROI)
6. 130 ryonker1
7. 97 Digger
8. 46 Indian Hemp
9. 40 Roamin42
10. 80 NJ Stinks

11. 17 Cruzan
12. 9 ElPrado (3rd Pts)

Points and ROI Totals through June 10 (Belmont) 2017

Alrighty . . . then, not much change but many gathered some very nice points totals as DonGuido seems to be hanging on to his surmountable lead while walking on a big day clouds and Real Quiet doesn't lose any ground with quality hits for the last two contests. Same with JolyB keeping tabs on the top twosome, yet Ruffian getting pretty hot jumps over the Professor to take on the 3 hole by a smidge. Ryonker adds nicely to his totals hanging tough on the 6th rung of the ladder and Cruzan hits in big in the bank roll while adding to his late starting totals. Last but never least ElPrado kills it for wallet stock while nudging up ever closer to the cruz man.

Thanks so much for playing and now we make the slow mid-summer early fall watch and count down to BC days. Doesn't get much better than this since the 3YO's had a real split somewhat uninspiring split decision through the TC run


1. 373 DonGuido (1st Pts and 4th ROI 6/10)
2. 296 Real Quiet (4th Pts 6/3, 3rd Pts 6/10 and 4th ROI)
3. 268 Ruffian-333 (1st Pts 6/3 w/ REPEAT Bonus and 2nd ROI 6/10)4
4. 263 JolyB (1st Pts 6/3 and 3rd Pts 6/10))
5. 189 Plenilune
6. 151 ryonker1 (3rd Pts 6/3)
7. 97 Digger
8. 59 Indian Hemp
9. 42 Roamin42
10. 85 NJ Stinks

11. 37 Cruzan (2nd ROI 6/10)
12. 34 ElPrado (1st ROI 6/10)

Points and ROI Totals through July 1, 2017

Ok now, DonGuido remains rather quiet lately while JolyB nails numerous points with strong showings for the last two weeks and jumps over RQ to take on the two spot cutting well into DG's lead. Ruffian maintains her omnipresence landing some nice points for the minor rewards but the BIG move has been Plenilune recording a REPEAT in points adding a bunch of points to her vault. NJ Stinks nabs the first prize in ROI moving close to century mark in the seven hole and Cruzan helps his virtual bankroll with show points a couple of contests back.

Plenilune has the honors and will show us if she remains "spot on" for the first THREEPEAT of this year. Good luck Plen and thanks to all for playing!!!

1. 385 DonGuido (7/1 4th Pts)
2. 303 JolyB (2nd Pts & 4th ROI 6/24, 2nd Pts & 1 ROI 7/1)
3. 299 Real Quiet
4. 282 Ruffian-333 (4th Pts 6/24, 3rd Pts 7/1))
5. 242 Plenilune (1st Pts 6/24 & 2nd ROI, 1st Pts REPEAT)
6. 153 ryonker1
7. 98 NJ Stinks (1st ROI 6/24)
8. 97 Digger
9. 59 Indian Hemp
10. 48 Cruzan (3rd Pts & 3rd ROI 6/24)

37 ElPrado
