DON:
Think U Have TYPO on => ''Ruffian 5th Pts 4/14''
Didn't Know We Get Pts For 5th! LOL!
Should Be *3rd* 4/14

4/14 Points Results
*RUFFIAN-333 takes a sweet third.
Real Quiet nicely rounds out the super.

1 JolyB ABC 35 204
2 DonGuido ACB 30 180
3 RUFFIAN-333-DC CAB 20 159
4 Real Quiet ABC 35 149

WE ALL DO TYPOS!
Even WORSE is SIRI When Using Microphone To Type
SO many words SOUND The Same But Spelled Differently ~
So How Can SIRI even Know which one is meant!

Example: I say The MARE is In Foal And SIRI Types: MAYOR!
(How's THAT for A Mental Image of the MAYOR IN FOAL!

Yes, I'll take care of it. I had you beat this week but a typo "WE ALL DO TYPOS" screwed me in race 6. I had 8-4-2 on my picks but typo-ed 8-4-1. Oh well the slip of a finger is a FICKLE freaking thing. Nice win that really shoulda been . . . 'nough said!!! You're running away with it like I did last year. Best of luck to keep it going . . . but I may not be done yet???

Points and ROI Totals through April 28, 2018

Ok say Ruffian is setting them up and knocking them down with a nice REPEAT and adds to expanding lead while JolyB adds minor point to his wallet. Plenilune gains some with a 3rd in Pts and DonGuido moves a little closer to her with a 2nd place finish in Pts. No position changes, so lets see how the always tough Derby card treats us with double points gained.

One more time, a very warm WELCOME BACK to our "old" friend Roamin!!!

1. 300 Ruffian (REPEAT in Pts with 20 bonus pts)
2. 232 Real Quiet
3. 208 JolyB (4th Pts)
4. 173 Plenilune (3rd Pts)
5. 171 DonGudio (2nd Pts)
6. 60 NJ Stinks
7. 50 Cruzan
8. 44 Indian Hemp (2nd ROI 4/14)
9. 3 Banter
10. 1 Roamin

..........Wouldn’t That Be 299 Not 290?

4/21
1. 269 Ruffian (4th Pts 4/14 and 1st pts 4/21)

Points and ROI Totals through May 5 Derby Day 2018

So with double points we had some movement as Ruffian stays tough at the top the ladder but Real Quiet closes the gap nicely with a 2nd place showing in each contest. JolyB maintains his 3rd place standing while DonGuido moves up to the 4 hole changing spots with Plenilune with a nice 1st place win in Pts. And Cruzan,nailing a win in ROI, leaps over NJ Stinks taking on the 6th rung of the ladder.

We are in the Triple Crown mix with a real deal of a horse in Justify that could go all the way!!! Lets see how Belmont treats us. Thanks for playing y'all!!!

1. 308 Ruffian (4th Pts)
2. 263 Real Quiet( 2nd Pts and ROI)
3. 218 JolyB (3rd Pts)
4. 193 DonGudio (1st Pts)
5. 175 Plenilune
6. 72 Cruzan (1st ROI)
7. 62 NJ Stinks
8. 46 Indian Hemp
9. 3 Banter
10. 3 Roamin

Points and ROI totals through Preakness Day May 19, 2018

OK so we all enjoy double points for those who nabbed'em as Ruffian stands tall still in the lead but JolyB climbs much closer as he pulls down a boo coo load of points for doubles day and a SWEEP. Real Quiet maintain the 3 hole capturing a 3rd in ROI and DonGuido makes a significant move up the ladder with place positions in both contests. Cruzan is no slouch adding to his total and solidifies his hold on the 6 spot.

No word yet as to where the Professor is taking us next but I'm sure it will give us more fun than we can handle, or maybe not. And many of us wait with great anticipation to justify our feelings for a Justify triple crown.

Thanks for playing and keep those cards and letters coming in.

1. 329 Ruffian (3rd Pts) + 1st Pts 5/12

3. 285 JolyB (SWEEP w/ 20 bonus pts) + 3rd Pts 5/12
4. 231 DonGudio (2nd Pts and ROI) + 2nd Pts 5/12
5. 177 Plenilune
6. 81 Cruzan (4th Pts)
7. 64 NJ Stinks
