Fibonacci Stakes VIII

Several Analysts work the bugs out of their algorithms to take home *base* Trifecta Points and shake up the Test of the Computations!

Big Tuna — eager to become only the second Analyst with a Career Grand Slam! — earns a *base* Trifecta with 2 Fibonacci Bonus Picks in Leg 4 for 12 points! He moves into first place with 27 points. Woody (21 points) — the only other Analyst to net points in each of the first four Legs — rises into second place with a modest 6-point *lame* Trifecta. Mo Money (20 points) vaults into third place with a 9-point *base* Trifecta.

KateTDid (18 points) holds onto fourth place by virtue of 1 Correct Home Team Pick — one more than Jimmy V (18 points) who bolts into fifth place with a 9-point *base* Trifecta. With 17 points each, Roxy Trot (2 Correct Home Team Picks) moves into sixth place while Bookie (0 Correct Home Team Picks) lapses from first to seventh place with a busted Trifecta in Leg 4.

In the back half of the field, Atwork (15 points) performs the full Fibonacci to move from last place to eighth place before the final Leg! Craft Brew (14 points) holds at ninth place with 14 Trifecta Points, followed by Sponge Mom (13 points) in tenth place and B-Reezy (12 points) in eleventh position.

Wise Orangutan (11 points) fades into twelfth place, trailed by The Strategist (10 points) and Little Tuna (9 points) at the tail end of the field.

Fibonacci Stakes VIII

After laboring over a heavy track around the near turn, a handful of Analysts pull away from the field and set themselves up for computational success!

Bookie performs the full Fibonacci down the back stretch, earning a *base* Trifecta and three *bonus* Picks for 12 points. She takes the lead with 17 Trifecta Points! Woody and Big Tuna both add a *lame* Trifecta with two *bonus* Picks to reach 15 Trifecta Points total. Big Tuna adds to his second place edge over Woody with another (2) Correct Home Team Picks through the third leg.

KateTDid moves into sole possession of fourth place with 12 Trifecta Points total. She is followed by Roxy Trot and Mo Money with 11 Trifecta Points each. Both have 2 Correct Home Team Picks, giving Roxy Trot the edge for fifth place with 3 Fibonacci Bonus Picks over Mo Money with 1 Fibonacci Bonus Pick. The Strategist moves into seventh place with 10 Trifecta Points.

In the back half of the field, Jimmy V holds eighth place with 9 Trifecta Points, followed closely by Craft Brew in ninth with 8 Trifecta Points. The remaining Analysts did not add to their Trifecta Point totals down the back stretch. Wise Orangutan drops to tenth place at 5 Trifecta Points and Sponge Mom falls to eleventh with 4 Trifecta Points. At 3 Trifecta Points B-Reezy slips to twelfth place.

Atwork and Little Tuna, tied at 0 Trifecta Points, both report that Smath, the Game That Makes Math Fun, does not help one lick with Picking the outcomes of football games!
