PC-Fecta Derby VII
After seven seasons, the WFTL has its first two-time Crown Champion of the PC-Fecta Derby. Was it Big Tuna (the man who put the PC in PC-Fecta!)? Jimmy V (the only colt or filly to Win since Season I)? Little Tuna (winning-est Analyst in WFTL history)? Craft Brew (Defending Champion)? Kal Krome (from out of retirement)? No. No. No. No. And. No.
Atwork led PC-Fecta Derby VII wire-to-wire on his green-and-yellow-hot thoroughbred rode by the “I-am-as-old-as-my-Wonderlic-score (35)” jock(ey)! With 25 Trifecta points and 24 Bonus points, he Wins with 49 points — and over one-quarter length of the track (+17 points) ahead of second place!!!
Wise Orangutan–who has asked The Clearinghouse to point out that he did not change any Derby rules this season!–started slow but closed strong with the offense bonus points. He Browns out the competition to Place with 31 points at the finish.
Big Tuna Shows with 27 points, oh so close to the Purse (and wondering how it is that Wise O. always snatches away his payouts!).
KateTDid, Craft Brew, The Stategist and Jimmy V can only ponder what might have been if not for The Equine Plague.
Jimmy V (26) finishes in fourth place on base Trifecta points. Craft Brew (24) edges out Little Tuna (24) for fifth place based on third tiebreaker (7.3 point differential per game [pdpg] vs. 7.0 pdpg).
The Strategist (23) trots to the line on a Monday in seventh place. In eighth place, The Bookie (22) on the inside rail handily pushes B-Reezy (22) to the outside rail for ninth place on second tiebreaker (4 Correct Home Team Picks to his 1 Correct Home Team Pick).
KateTDid (21) ends in tenth place, ahead of Sponge Mom in eleventh (20). Roxy Trot‘s (16) nag, plagued by injuries, drags her down to twelfth place. Woody (10) cowpokes to the finish in last place.
