ROI Results 5/18 @ Pimlico

[Real Quiet]

It's too bad the weather didn't turn out better for the Preakness but it's way beyond anyone's
control. Whether it helped Seize the Grey we'll never know but on the 3rd Saturday in May he
was much the best. Now for the unusual results which are beyond my control as this is an
ROI contest. DonGuido gets the Pimlico win by posting the highest ROI and it wasn't that close.
Ruffian collected more money but for reasons unknown DonG only wound up wagering $84 and
finished up the afternoon with the win. JB might have been in the same boat had his exacta hit
due to a scratch. This doesn't happen often but Saturday was the exception. Following are the
unofficial results pending any objections. Please check your scores and let me know if I missed
anything. I almost missed JB's scratch so mistakes happen. Congrats on the win Don.

Good to see that at least a couple of our players did well on a day that stymied most of us. It was a difficult day for both pro and amateur. In some of the prerace analysis, some mention was given to Lukas having his best performance thus far in a while, but I think the analysts were actually leaning toward Lukas' other horse and not Seize The Gray and of course, Brad and Chad were mentioned a lot. Interesting I thought that freshness didn't seem to mean much as all three of the top finishers had raced on Derby Day.

RQ can splain it better than me but I think its based on my return on investment was a higher percentage than yours. RQ can clear this up I'm sure.

DON

ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT = MOST WINS

HAVING $100 MORE
THOUGHT I HAD WON

SO IM AT A LOSS TO UNDERSTAND THIS RESULT
WITH $100 MORE AND YET #2

I think Don is right. We call this contest a return on investment for a reason. ROI is expressed as a percentage of what is invested. I too lost a contest, I think it was last year, in this way. Even though, it wasn't a winner, your play was very nice so kudos on that and it helped your totals overall for the contest. You may still be the overall leader or it may be NJS, but I'm fairly sure that it would be between you two.
