PC-Fecta Derby, 2015-16

Final Standings

At the finish, Little Tuna (6 points) holds her lead and wins the 2015-16 PC-Fecta Derby! Little Tuna earns her first title in the Quaternary Crown and extends her winning streak to two races.

With a late surge, the Wise Orangutan (4 points) edges past The Strategist (4 points) to take 2nd place due to the third tiebreaker for average point differentials by the Home Team (-3.5 vs. -3.8 – yes, those are negative point differentials by the Home Teams!). In fourth, Minds Blank (2 points) inches past the Big Tuna (2 points) on the basis of four correct Home Team picks.

In sixth, The Bookie (1 point) holds off  a charge by B-Reezy (1 point) with two correct Home Team picks. Kal Krome held out the first two weeks of the Derby and never gained last year’s form.

Scenarios

Little Tuna surges around the third turn and eliminates 5 Analysts from contention in the Derby: Big Tuna, Kal Krome, Wise Orangutan, The Bookie, and B-Reezy.

Little Tuna (6) holds a 3 point lead over The Strategist (3) and a four point lead over Minds Blank (2). The Scenarios in the final week are:

  1. Little Tuna picks a trifecta this week, OR, if both Minds Blank and The Strategist fail to pick a trifecta, Little Tuna wins outright.
  2. If Little Tuna does not earn a trifecta, then:
    1. The Strategist must pick a trifecta that includes her Home Team AND earn both offensive and defensive bonuses for 4 points. Little Tuna owns the tiebreakers over The Strategist, so 3 points will not win the race for the Strategist.
    2. Minds Blank must pick a trifecta that includes her Home Team AND earn both offensive and defensive bonuses for 4 points. In that case, Minds Blank will have picked her Home Team correctly four times and own the second tiebreaker over Little Tuna.
