Analyst of the Year VIII

Only three weeks into The Marathon of the Ass and we have four tiers of analytical performances on display!!

Sponge Mom remains perfect (3 Trifectas, 9 Correct Picks) to start Season VIII. Next week, she can tie the record for best start to a season!

With 2 Trifectas each, The Strategist, Jimmy V, and Little Tuna vie for Place. On Correct Picks, The Strategist (8) has the edge over Jimmy V (7) and Little Tuna (7).

With 1 Trifecta each, Wise Orangutan, B-Reezy, Roxy Trot and KateTDid form the middle of the field. Wise O., Roxy Trot, and KateTDid are tied for fifth place with 7 Correct Picks each, while B-Reezy in eighth looks for an opening with 6 Correct Picks.

Still seeking a first Trifecta on the year (0 Trifectas each), Craft Brew, Atwork, Woody, Big Tuna, Bookie and Mo Money are laboring through the clubhouse turn on a heavy track. Craft Brew, Woody and Bookie tie for ninth — all three have been hobbled by a single Pick each week (6 Correct Picks each). Big Tuna holds twelfth position with 5 Correct Picks, while Atwork and Mo Money are wheezing on dust in a tie for the final position with 3 Correct Picks.

Standings | PC-Fecta Derby VIII | Leg 3

PC-Fecta Derby VIII

Coming out of the far turn, The Fastest Four Weeks in Sports Analysis has had a single leader in the Race! Will she take the Crown with a wire-to-wire sprint?!!?

Sponge Mom (31 points) gets her third *base* Trifecta and *extra* point to hold her lead. Sponge Mom also gets a second Head-to-Head tiebreaker (over both Mo Money and B-Reezy now). She is only Analyst with Three Correct Home Team Picks and boasts a +11 point differential per game!

Roxy Trot (24 points) earns PC-Fecta *bonus* points for the second week in a row. With a *lame* Trifecta, *extra* point and PC-Fecta offense *bonus* points (+11 on the week), she narrows the gap with the leader to 7 points. Wise Orangutan (21 points) fades into third place with a *lame * Trifecta and *extra* point.

In the middle of the field with an outside change to Win, The Strategist (16 points) moves into sole possession of fourth place with a *base* Trifecta. Jimmy V, Woody, and Little Tuna (each with 14 points) share fifth position, with Jimmy V currently owning the Tiebreakers over both. All three will need to run like Secretariat to close the distance with the leader for the Win, but still have a modest chance to Place or Show.

Because 17 points are the maximum possible in a single week, Sponge Mom has eliminated the back of the field from Win, but most Analysts have a slim chance to Place.

KateTDid (13 points) slips into eighth place alone. She has a three length lead over B-Reezy and Bookie at 10 points each in ninth place. Craft Brew (9 points) holds eleventh position, trailed by Big Tuna (7 points) in twelfth place.

Atwork and Mo Money (0 points each) remain in a fierce competition for last place!
