[/B][/U]Points and ROI totals through February 14, 2014[/U][/B]

First results of the year show Arletta to be best hitting in both contests with a win in Pints as Ruffian-333 nails the win in ROI. DonGuido takes on the bridesmaid role in Points and Roamin does the same in ROI. Crimimal Type hits the show spot in Points and NJ Stinks does his thing for show in ROI while JolyB registers the super spot in Points.

Way to early to figure a top 10 but we'll get there soon enough. There's usually quite a bit of jockeying the first couple of months. Congrats to all the toppers.

Thanks for playing and lets see what Delta Downs has in store for us.

OK I will get to this tomorrow night since I had it all done and hit "esc" and I lost all the updates. I am remaining calm but need to relax and go to bed. Do not hit "esc" here like you normally would to get out of a "copy-paste" or you will lose what you spent many minutes doing . . . ESSSSSSH what a grouch I am.:mad: :) And I should know that because it's not the first time of done this. ARRRRGH!!!:)

Points and ROI Totals Through November 29, 2014

So we have a big time new leader Real Quiet who is HOT HOT HOT to start of the year while Criminal Type is no slouch with his swammy bets and DonGuido hangs tough close behind landing nice scores for both weeks. Arletta and Ruffian hang in there all tied up in a cute little bow as JolyB hits well in both weeks.

Dapplehorse does well with the wagering also in both weeks and Cruzan200246 nabs a show spot in ROI as well. Plenilune and digger hit for the super spots in Pts and ROI adding nicely to their totals.

Better narrative (maybe) next time. Ga'night y'all.

RUFFIAN IS OUR NEW LEADER, since I missed somehow many of her points , , , sorry Ruffian.

As of 12/7 I have also updated the points totals to reflect the new points awards (retroactive) for win, place, show and super. Some scores we up a point of two and others came down a point. Those that hit the place spot stayed the same. This will all be smother going forward.


55 Ruffian-333 (1st ROI 11/22, 4th Pts 11/29, Repeat win in ROI and 10 point bonus for top ROI of November)
45 Real Quiet (Repeat winner in Pts with 20 Bonus pts)
26 Criminal Type (2nd Pts 11/22 and 1st ROI 11/29)
24 DonGuido (2nd ROI 11/22 and 2nd Pts 11/29)
21 Arletta (3rd Pts 11/22)
15 JolyB (4th Pts 11/22 and 3rd ROI 11/29)
10 Dapplehorse (4th ROI 11/22 and 2nd ROI 11/29)
8 NJ Stinks
8 Roamin

Don

I had Repeat R O I Wins 11-15 & 11/22
Does that not get bonus points like repeat Points winner?

I also Won NOV R O I Month
Does that not get bonus points?

I also had a 4th in Points

I see only one R O I win listed with my name (11/22)

Sorry to cause added headache ..... :{>:

One more note, I need to go back and update all who placed 1-4 and add in the retroactive extra points based on our latest change. Apologies but I will have this cleaned up by this weekend.

Criminal Type in our new leader with back to back ROI wins and a 3rd in Points. Ruffian hangs tough in the two hole with a 4th in Points while Roamin 42 takes a big jump as well hitting 2nd in both contests. GotaDunQH nails the Points win adding nicely to here total and digger lands a 3rd in ROI to help his cause.

Still early in the season for movin and grovin, so continuing on lets see how Gulfstream teats us. It can't be much worse than last week at Hawthorne, can it? :confused: :)

Ruffian jumps over CT with a 2nd in Pts and is our new leader and Arletta has the big deal of the day with a SWEEP and moves up nicely to the 3rd rung of the ladder. Real Quiet is tough in the four hole with a 2nd in ROI and [B]DonGuido hangs on in the 5th spot. JolyB lands a 3rd in Pts landing on the 7th rung and Plenilune joins two others for a share of the 10th spot.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and to all a good day and thank you, thank you for being here to play.

Lets see if the second outing in a row at Gulfstream treated us any better than last.

Points and ROI Totals through December 20, 2014

The points were spread across 8 players this week and we have a new leader for now Criminal Type hitting a 2nd in Points. Arletta hangs tough in the 3 hole with a 3rd in ROI and Real Quiet maintains the 4 spot cashing in a 4th in ROI. DonGuido likes the 5 hole and continues hitting the board for minor rewards in Points and Roamin garners a nice 2nd in ROI staying put on the sixth rung. JolyB now shares the sixth rung with CT after nailing the win in Points and Plenilune makes a nice gain with a strong win in ROI. And Cruzan 200246 adds to his totals nicely with a 4th in Points.

So as we move closer to our new calendar year we are starting to take shape. Lets see how Santa Anita fares with us. Happy Holidays to all and be safe.

Points and ROI Totals Through December 27,2014

WOW so we have a giant move and new leader with one Plenilune who is just showing all of us how to handicap and pick horses right now. Criminal Type continues to show up well and stays in the two hole with a 4th in Point and DonGuido keeps on hitting the board 5 out of the last 6 weeks mostly for a minor prize but some how manages a win to tie with Plenilune but stays tight in the 6th spot. JolyB not too far behind moves a up some with a nice 3rd in Points and NJ Stinks hops into to join the toppers with cool 2nd finish in ROI.

Happy New Year one last time and lets see how Gulfstream and the Jerome treat us next. Thanks for playing but wish we had more to add to the fray.

Points and ROI Totals Through January 3, 2015

Well gaining points this week was pretty tough but Arletta hits on a first in Points and jumps up to the two hole while Real Quiet shares her success in the Points Contest and hangs tough in the 5 hole. DonGuido continues his "just hit the board" approach and adds to his total with a 4th in Points and Cruzan200246 moves into the Top Ten on the 9th rung of the ladder with a nice 3rd place finish.

Nothing to be said about the ROI wagers since we all got shut out and it's back to Gulfstream . . . to see what happens there again, hoping we get more out of it this time.

Okee doh kee nowwwwwww, not much change in positions but some good added points for some. Ruffian moves up to join the 3 hole with fellow Coloradian CT and Real Quiet stays up close and too personal with them both in on the 4th rung of the ladder. DonGudio methodical attemps at the "also rans" category finally nails a win in Points, it's about FREAKING TIME DG! JolyB adds nicely to his spot in the 7 hole and digger jumps into the top ten with a very nice win in ROI.

Nuff said for now and DG just has to take us back to Gulfstream again for the Sunshine Millions . . . ohhhhh myyyyyyy!? Thanks for playing y'all!!!

OK a short narrative as many stayed in the same spot. Real Quiet made a big move into second place with his win in Points (NICE) and digger jumped way up to the 6 hole with his REPEAT win in ROI, very good digger. On to Santa Anita to how the west coast treats us.

So we have some catching up to do. Ruffian moves up ever so close to our leader as Real Quiet nabs some point but gets shoved down a bit as Arletta hits nicely to maintain her 4th spot and DonGuido makes a one rung leap himself into the 5 hole. JolyB starts his scoring style and moves ahead of digger who plays the ROI well in both weeks (along with the ROI win for January + 10 pts. bonus) moves up a notch and GotaDubQH garners minor honors to maintain the 10th position.

And lest we not forget NJ Stinks nabbing a very nice first in ROI for the last day of January 2015.

Sorry for my lack of being here to do my things but the Zoo has been keeping me extra busy lately. Maybe it will slow down a little?!:zz::wf

Thanks for playing and being who you are here!!! See ya next week, but maybe not (since I'm off to Houston for a wedding) where ever JB takes us.

Here we go again as JolyB gears up for the TC run and hops over a number to land in the two spot while DonGuido continues his onslaught of being 2nd or worse best but in the money week after week after freaking week (sorry - power of the pen) joining Arletta to share the 5 hole. Roamin nails the win in the ROI and adds nicely to his totals while GotaDunQH hangs closely behind on the last rung of the top ten ladder.

Cruzan200246 leads the lower tier but is so close to nabbing a top ten spot. It's starting to get interesting here as well as at the tracks with hopefuls abound. It's that time of year when some of the best show their spots here and on the track. Lets see where Gulfstream takes us this next contest.

Thanks for playing and as Plenilune has done, go out and try an recruit or enlist more players to join us. Remember Indian Hemp (I do), we are trying to get him OK'd to register and play. If not this week hopefully next.

Well we had little if any luck in wagers last week but still added some gains in points totals. We have a new leader in JolyB landing a nice 2nd in Pts and Real Quiet moves up one to the 3 hole. Criminal Type hits the win in Pts and gains nice ground while Cruzan 200246 moves into the top ten after capturing a 4th in Pts.

Lets hope the familiar but ever challenging confines of Gulfstream are a little easier to figure out this Saturday. Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letters coming in. ;)

A quick update as you can see we have a new leader in Criminal Type who lands a nice repeat. Sorry but this is one of those times of the year that I am extremely busy with work and STUFF.

Basically, CT pushed everyone in the top 6 down a notch. May be another week or two until my life at the zoo and home gets somewhat normalized. Sorry!!!

Congrats to all who garnered points.

BTW - for the record we had no contest for 2/28 due to weather and cancelling the card.

And we have a new leader JolyB (the lead changes a lot this time of year) but The Professor is tough when he has ahold of it and he does now with excellent hits in each contest. Plenilune hangs tough in 3rd nabbing a 4th in ROI and DonGuido throws in a ringer with his horse shoe for a rare win in ROI along with a Pts hit and climbs up two rungs of the top ten ladder. Arletta is stable in the six hole landing a 3rd in Pts and swedejxn captures some good ground in the lower tier moving up a couple of spots. Interesting card but JB has provided us with one at Aqueduct that I believe may be over the top . . . we'll just see about that wont' we. :D:eek::confused:

OK now it's getting serious. JolyB keeps adding to his stash, albeit minor this week, and Criminal Type is no slouch with a win in Pts hanging tough but loses ground to the 3 hole, while Arletta remains hot and engaged jumping into the 2 spot with a 3rd in ROI and 10 ROI bonus pts for being the best in March. DonGuido once again sneaks in a lucky win in ROI and lands a 2nd in Pts to start a move up one rung of the ladder on the leaders and digger maintains a hold on the 8 hole with a nice 2nd in ROI.

Romain hands us a 3rd in Pts and a past due bonus in ROI for Feb while Cruzan200246 nabs a 4th in Pts along with JB this week. And last but surely not least ElPrado moves up a rung in the lower tier with a nice 4th in ROI.

Points and ROI Totals through April 18, 2015

Well we had no change in order in the top 10 so I'll let you see what happened there with points gains without too much fan fare for change. The movement in the lower tier gave NJ Stinks the lead there with a nice 1st in ROI and swedejxn hopped up one spot adding his 4th in Pts.

Good job everyone and especially all the points gainers. Now the lull before the fireworks of the thoroughbred world starts poppin!!!

Have fun at CD this week and lets hope we learn a little something before Derby Day but I doubt it!!!

Points and ROI Totals through April 25, 2015

OK so lets get this last warm up drill behind us for the start of the 3YO campaign and all else around it. Big stuff a coming here and on the track I hope. Arletta continues to creep a little closer to The Professor by nabbing points week after week and DonGuido is not too far behind, jumping up one to the three hole, as he is hitting a stride himself. Plenilune takes care of her business with a nice 2nd in ROI while Ruffian shows her stuff continuing also to hit the board in so many ways.

Digger lands a nice 4th in ROI and with the April ROI bonus jumps over RQ to take over the 7 hole and Roamin 42 does the equal in Points but Cruzan 200246 does him one better and trades places to move up a notch to the 9th rung of the top ten ladder. And lest we not forget ryonker who leaps over two players making good ground in the lower tier with a very nice 2nd in Points.

Lets see how Derby Day treats us here and in out hearts. Thanks again for being who y'all are, seriously!!!

Points and ROI Totals through The Derby May 2, 2015 and

Well now it's always good to get lucky on TC days with double points and DonGuido got real lucky, hitting in both contests, allowing him to move up to the 2nd rung of the top ten ladder and Criminal Type nailed the win on Derby Day jumping up a spot as well to take on the 3 hole. Plenilune landed a nice third in points to solidify her hold on the 5th rung and digger comes up big hitting a nice 2nd in ROI to maintain his lucky 7 position. And lest we not forget ElPrado who is making a slow but purposeful move to the top of the lower tier.

The Derby was fun, good for me here and in my hopes going forward, perhaps to think AP may be the one . . . but how many times can we think that with the likely reality of disappointment again . . . we'll see?!

Thanks for playing and being who you are as we see what Belmont will deal us next week.

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.

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.

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 . . . :rolleyes:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Catching up for two contests as [B]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 :eek: 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!!!:D:D:D 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!!!

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 . . . :):):)
