Analyst of the Year V

After seven Trifectas in week 8, the Marathon of the Ass takes shape.

The Strategist continues to outpace the rest of the field with her 4th Trifecta and 18th Correct Pick of Season V. Big Tuna and Craft Brew, however, will not relent. Both have 3 Trifectas, with Big Tuna still clinging to second place with 17 Correct Picks and Craft Brew trailing by a head with 16 Correct Picks.

Roxy Trot maintains in fourth with 17 Correct Picks followed by Jimmy V in fifth with 16 Correct Picks. Tied for sixth, B-Reezy and Little Tuna are about a half length behind with 14 Correct Picks each.

Sponge Mom breaks from the back of the field with her 1st Trifecta and 13th Correct Pick to hold 8th place. Wise Orangutan falls into 9th with 1 Trifecta and 11 Correct Picks, within reach of The Bookie and Atwork who still seek their first Trifecta of the year.

Analyst of the Year V

The Strategist is unable to keep up her blistering pace for the second straight week and finds herself in a tighter race. She still leads by a length (3 Trifectas and 15 Correct Picks), but now has three close challengers.

Big Tuna (2 Trifectas and 14 Correct Picks) clings by a head to second place. In third, Craft Brew (2 Trifectas and 13 Correct Picks) trails only by one head. B-Reezy (2 Trifectas and 12 Correct Picks) aspires to retake the AoY crown.

Among the Analyst with 1 Trifecta, Roxy Trot (14 Correct Picks) in fifth and Jimmy V (13 Correct Picks) in sixth continue to perform as well as the frontrunners.

Little Tuna is finding her stride mid-season with 11 Correct Picks and seventh place. Wise Orangutan moves in spurts with 10 Correct Picks and eighth place.

Three Analysts are staring the poo-flinging Monkey in the face: 0 Trifectas in the first seven weeks. Which one will earn at least one Trifecta (12.5% accuracy) in Week 8 ?!!?

Trifecta Points

Around the far turn, Big Tuna (4 Trifecta points) solidifies his position with a two length lead over his closest contenders and an insurmountable 4 length lead over the five Analysts with no Trifecta points in the Trifecta.

On a steady pace in the past two legs, Craft Brew adds a second (2) Trifecta point and moves into second place over Wise Orangutan (2 Trifecta points) in third by virtue of the first tiebreaker (Home Team head-to-head win). Craft Brew also has 3 Correct Home Team Picks, the most of any Analyst in the Preakness, a secure position to defend Place during the final Leg.

In fourth, The Strategist (1 Trifecta point, 2 Correct Home Team Picks) edges Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta point, 1 Correct Home Team Pick) by a head. B-Reezy (1 Trifecta point, 0 Correct Home Team Picks) gives chase in sixth place.

The rest of the field will not be able to close the distance with Big Tuna in the final stretch, but can still Place with a Perfect Player Haters Trifecta (3 points).

In seventh, Jimmy V holds a first tiebreaker over Sponge Mom and second tiebreaker (1 Correct Home Team Pick) over the rest of the field.

Eighth through eleventh places are separate only by their noses (third tiebreaker).  Sponge Mom, with 3 turnovers per game, is in the strongest position.

Trifecta Points

Big Tuna gets a jump on the field out of the gate with perfect Player Haters Trifecta (3 points) down the front stretch and around the clubhouse turn.

Analyst of the Year V

In the Analyst of the Year competition, the Analysts have cleared the gates and are now approaching the clubhouse (first) turn. The track conditions have been challenging, as only two Trifectas have been recorded in the first three weeks.

The Strategist (1 Trifecta, 6 Correct Picks) extends her lead by a half-length over Little Tuna (1 Trifecta, 4 Correct Picks) in second place.

While the remaining Analysts have 0 Trifectas in the opening stretch, one Analyst has quietly built a lead over the middle of the field.

Roxy Trot notches her 5th Correct Pick to distinguish herself from the rest of the field and sole possession of third place.

On the heavy track, Jimmy V falls back into fourth place, in a dead heat with Big Tuna, Craft Brew, Atwork, and Sponge Mom who draw even with Jimmy V — with 4 Correct Picks.

B-Reezy (3 Correct Picks) trails in 9th place by a head, followed by The Bookie (2 Correct Picks) in tenth, and Wise O. (1 Correct Pick) grazing in last place!

Trifecta Points

Around the far turn, Little Tuna rope-a-dopes the competition! No Analyst gains Trifecta points in in Leg 3 as her highly-favored Home Team loses in spectacular fashion. The current leader eliminates her closest competition and holds a four point lead over all other Analysts.

The Strategist (1 point) notched a Correct Home Team Pick, but her stallion goes into a bye week in Leg 4. She cannot overtake Little Tuna and can only earn 1 more point to defend her second position.

Third place remains a highly contested hot mess among Analysts seeking their first Trifecta of the year.

Big Tuna and Sponge Mom have two Correct Home Team Picks (second tiebreaker). Sponge Mom (+2.7 point differential per game — pdpg) edges out Big Tuna (+0.3 pdpg) on third tiebreaker. Atwork however has a head-to-head win over Sponge Mom (first tiebreaker), while also trailing Big Tuna with only 1 Correct Home Team Pick. These three are in a dead heat for third at the moment and need to find a way to separate themselves to earn more than a spot in the Winner’s Circle.

Contesting for sixth place, then, we have the other Analysts with 1 Correct Home Team Pick.

Roxy Trot has a head-to-head tiebreaker over The Bookie and B-Reezy has a head-to-head tiebreaker over Jimmy V.

B-Reezy with a +4.3 pdpg edges the competition by a nose for sixth place, trailed closely by Roxy Trot (+1.3 pdpg) in seventh.

Craft Brew (-0.7 pdpg), The Bookie (-1.7 pdpg) and Jimmy V (-6.7 pdpg) follow closely in eighth, ninth and tenth position due only to the third tiebreaker.

The final position is absolutely clear: Wise Orangutan is dead last with O Trifecta points, 0 Correct Home Team Picks, and -9.7 point differential per game!
