Fibonacci Stakes VII

Down the backstretch, the The Test of the Computations was a real puzzler as only one Analyst earned a *base* Trifecta!

Adding 10 points in Leg 3, Wise Orangutan (24 points) moves to the front, five lengths ahead of The Strategist (19 points), his nearest challenger in second place.

At 15 points each, Craft Brew, Sponge Mom, Woody, and Little Tuna are in a four-way tie for third place. Currently, it is too close too call: Sponge Mom has tiebreakers on Craft Brew and Little Tuna, while Woody has an edge on Sponge Mom but is in a statistical tie with Little Tuna.

Rounding out the middle of the field, B-Reezy (13 points) moves up the board into seventh place, two lengths in front of Big Tuna (11 points) who falls into eighth place.

In the back of the field, Jimmy V (8 points) is in ninth, KateTDid climbs into tenth place, The Bookie (6 points) drops one spot to eleventh position, followed by Atwork (3 points) in twelfth over Roxy Trot (3 points) in thirteenth place on second tiebreaker (2 Correct Home Team Picks).

Analyst of the Year VII

The Marathon of the Ass is living up to its name after the leaderboard is shaken up for the second week in a row!

With the only Trifectas in Week 10, former AoY Champion The Strategist (6 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) and former marathoner & current ass Wise Orangutan (6 Trifectas and 25 Correct Picks) move into a tie for first place!

They overtake Big Tuna (6 Trifectas and 24 Correct Picks) in third place by a head. Jimmy V (5 Trifectas and 24 Correct Picks) in fourth place is stripping down to his skivvies for the dramatic finish to the seventh AoY Championship! Either can retake at least a share of the lead with a better week than the current leaders.

In the midfield, B-Reezy (4 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks) in fifth place continues to lead Craft Brew (4 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks) by a head. Both remain in serious contention for the coveted jewel of sports analysis.

In seventh place, Atwork (3 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks) has a strong portfolio of Correct Picks, but will now need 7 Trifectas in a row to tie his record setting pace from last year! In eighth, Woody (3 Trifectas and 21 Correct Picks) remains in solid contention, trailed by Little Tuna (3 Trifectas and 20 Correct Picks) in ninth place and The Bookie (3 Trifectas and 18 Correct Picks) in tenth place.

Sponge Mom (2 Trifectas and 21 Correct Picks) and KateTDid (2 Trifectas and 18 Correct Picks) remain in eleventh and twelfth place, with Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 17 Correct Picks) looking for a wing and a prayer!

Fibonacci Stakes VII

Coming out of the far turn, the The Test of the Computations is shaping up!

With the only *base* Trifectas in Leg 2, The Strategist (14 points) and Wise Orangutan (14 points) are running neck and neck (currently, no leader on tiebreakers). Big Tuna (11 points) in third place and Craft Brew (10 points) in fourth place trail closely if the lengthy, five-Leg Crown Race.

In the middle of the field, five Analysts have solid starts with 8 points each: Jimmy V, B-Reezy, Sponge Mom, Woody, and Little Tuna. Little Tuna has 1 Correct Home Team Pick, but Sponge Mom has a head-to-head tiebreaker over her, so there is no clear candidate for fifth place at this time.

The Bookie (6 points) heads the back of the field in tenth position, followed by Atwork and Roxy Trot (3 points) in eleventh place, and KateTDid molting with 0 points.

Standings | Analyst of the Year VII | Week 9

Analyst of the Year VII

Entering the near turn of the Marathon of the Ass, we have our first change of lead during Season VII! In the first eight weeks, Jimmy V set the pace for the field. But, a former Analyst of the Year (in a state of mind to streak!) earns his 3rd straight Trifecta!

Big Tuna moves into sole possession of first place with 6 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks. It is a precarious lead, as he is followed by one length in second place by Jimmy V, The Strategist, and Wise Orangutan (that must be an error!), each at 5 Trifectas and 22 Correct Picks (as well).

Leading the middle of the field B-Reezy (4 Trifectas, 21 Correct Picks) and Craft Brew (4 Trifectas and 20 Correct Picks) give chase in fifth and sixth place, respectively. At 3 Trifectas each, Atwork (21 Correct Picks) is in seventh place, Woody (19 Correct Picks) is in eighth place, Little Tuna (18 Correct Picks) is in ninth place, and The Bookie (17 Correct Picks) is in tenth place.

Trailing with 2 Trifectas each, Sponge Mom (19 Correct Picks) and KateTDid (17 Correct Picks) are in eleventh and twelfth place, while Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 16 Correct Picks) is poised to fly like an Eagle the rest of the season!

With lame Trifectas (3 points), Atwork, Jimmy V, B-Reezy, Roxy Trot, Sponge Mom, Woody, and Little Tuna crowd the midfield. KateTDid sputters at the gun with 0 points.

Standings | Analyst of the Year VII | Leg 8

Analyst of the Year VII

A tough, tough back stretch in the Marathon of the Ass. For the second time in four weeks, only two Analysts notch the Trifecta and overall only two Analysts added two Trifectas during the month (Big Tuna and Woody).

Jimmy V now finds himself in a tie with Big Tuna at 5 Trifectas each. On Correct Picks, Jimmy V (20) leads by only one head over his nearest challenger, Big Tuna (19)!

Still within striking distance of the lead, B-Reezy, The Strategist and Wise Orangutan are in a dead heat for third place with 4 Trifectas and 19 Correct Picks each.

In the middle of the field with 3 Trifectas, Atwork (19 Correct Picks) holds sixth place by a half length over Craft Brew and Woody (17 Correct Picks each) in a tie for seventh place. Little Tuna (16 Correct Picks) climbs out of the fish bowl to join the middle of the field in ninth place.

At the back with 2 Trifectas, Sponge Mom (17 Correct Picks) drops one place to tenth place, KateTDid (16 Correct Picks) slips into in eleventh place, and The Bookie (14 Correct Picks) hangs in twelfth position. Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 14 Correct Picks) in thirteenth place has been decidedly injury-struck by fool’s gold.

Analyst of the Year VII

Several Analysts find their stride in Week 7 and get back on track to take Analyst of the Year accolades!

Once again, Jimmy V (5 Trifectas, 18 Correct Picks) clings onto his lead over a handful of Analysts — including three former Analysts of the Year — who trail only one length behind!

Standing out, The Strategist (4 Trifectas, 18 Correct Picks) is in sole possession of second place. B-Reezy and Wise Orangutan are in a dead heat for third place with 4 Trifectas and 17 Correct Picks. Big Tuna (4 Trifectas, 16 Correct Picks) stays within striking distance of the Winner’s Circle in fifth place.

In the middle of the field with 3 Trifectas each, Atwork (17 Correct Picks) holds sixth place by a head over Craft Brew (16 Correct Picks) in seventh place, and two heads in front of Woody (15 Correct Picks), who has quickly separated from the back of the field to take eighth position.

At the rear with 2 Trifectas, Sponge Mom (15 Correct Picks) soaks up ninth place, KateTDid (14 Correct Picks) flutters in tenth place, Little Tuna (13 Correct Picks) flops in eleventh place, and The Bookie (12 Correct Picks) puts her thumb on the wrong side of the scale in twelfth position.

Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 12 Correct Picks) paces in thirteenth place, still uncertain of whether her Home Team is a Thoroughbred or a Standardbred!

Standings | Player Haters Preakness VII | Leg 3

Player Haters Preakness VII

The Analysts get back on track in the third Leg of The Run of the Black-Eyed Analysts, and two Analysts earn the Player Hater x2 bonus!

Among a handful of Analysts who notched a Trifecta in Leg 3, Woody (15 points) heads into the home stretch in first place. She leads by a head (1 Correct Home Team Pick) over Wise O. (also 15 points) who climbs up the field with a Player Hater Trifecta.

B-Reezy (12 points) and The Strategist (12 points) score the *base* Trifecta to move into a tie with Atwork (12 points). By virtue of 2 Correct Home Team Picks [CHTP], The Strategist is alone in third place, followed by B-Reezy in fourth place (1 CHTP and 1.7 turnovers per game [tpg]) and Atwork in fifth place (1 CHTP and 0.5 tpg). Jimmy V moves into sixth place alone at 9 points following his first Trifecta of the Preakness.

In a crowded midfield for seventh place at 6 points each, Craft Brew, Roxy Trot, Sponge Mom, Big Tuna, and Little Tuna (on a 6-point Player Hater Trifecta) remain within striking distance of the Win if bold enough to go for the Player Hater Trifecta in Leg 4.

KateTDid almost rallied for a Correct Home Team Pick, but Gus-tkowsky-the-Mule shanked his game-tying field goal. She falls into twelfth place at 3 points, comfortably ahead of The Bookie, who has not yet left the starting gate (0 points)!

Analyst of the Year VII

The back stretch of the Marathon of the Ass is proving to be a heavy track. Only three Trifectas in two weeks from our field of thirteen Analysts. After 6 weeks, the Trifecta rate (Total Trifectas divided by Possible Trifectas) has fallen to 42% — the WFTL average over the first six seasons! The more things change…

As the only Analyst with a Trifecta rate above 50%, Jimmy V leads by a length with 4 Trifectas and 15 Correct Picks. A streaker by disposition (he earned 7 of his 10 Trifectas in Season VI during an eight week stretch!), he may be in another slump…Fortunately for him, none of the competition seems to be getting close enough to see Jimmy V go streaking again!

Within striking distance of the lead with 3 Trifectas and (also) 15 Correct Picks, Atwork and The Strategist give no ground to the front runner, sharing second place.

At 3 Trifectas and 14 Correct Picks, Craft Brew moves up into a tie for fourth place with B-Reezy and Wise Orangutan. Big Tuna slips into seventh place at 3 Trifectas and 13 Correct Picks..

In a tie for eighth place, Sponge Mom and KateTDid gain some separation from the back of the field with 2 Trifectas and 13 Correct Picks (+2) in Week 6. Woody gallops from the back of the field to take tenth place alone with 2 Trifectas and 12 Correct Picks.

The Bookie and Little Tuna struggle to add to their Correct Picks total, falling down the board into a tie for eleventh place 2 Trifectas and 11 Correct Picks. Roxy Trot (1 Trifecta and 10 Correct Picks) closes some of the Correct Pick deficit, but still trails in thirteenth position.
