Thanks for the back date report. I bet you have kept records as long as you've been with us. Were you a statistician, a bank examiner, a legal investigator or actuary before retirement???

None of the above. Just a number cruncher with the tbreds. As for "before retirement" if I retired where would I find the time to handicap?

The highest points score I have seen was registered by Joly B on 2/27/16 at Gulfstream. JB had 231 on that afternoon. Joly B also had 204 to win at Oaklawn in 2018. No other player has won a points contest with over 200 points. The oddity is that on the day Joly put up 231 points 3 other players scored over 200 and couldn't sniff out a win.

It means that this crop had designated 2 year olds for their 2 year old races, and the 3 year olds are still waiting in the wings as races for them come up. The older horses retired, got hurt, or the trainers found out in time that the usual meds (and I use that term loosely) were now tested for. New York tightened their testing up considerably and at least one trainer did not win a race worth anything at the spa last year because his whole humongous stable got a summer cold and took a vacation. He's at least entering some this year, but the usual championship run did not happen. It did show up approximately 30 seconds after the testing was boosted, though.

As noted earlier Joly B is the master of three peats and has four. No one else has won three in a row. With that being said there is a barn burner side contest going on between JB and Don Guido. Since 2014 when we moved here to the Derby Trail Don Guido has won 48 points contests to Joly's 47. Ruffian is in third with 33 points wins.
