PC-Fecta Derby III

Trifecta Points

Kal Krome (5 points) spurs his team around the third turn to secure the lead from The Strategist (4 points). In third, Atwork (3 points) noses ahead of Big Tuna (3 points) based on the scores of his stallion (third tiebreaker). Heading into the fourth turn, these four Analysts are poised to take the third — and most competitive – Derby in WFTL history.

In fifth, Wise Orangutan (1 point) clings to one head lead over B-Reezy (1 point) by virtue of correctly picking his Home Team once (second tiebreaker).

Minds Blank, Little Tuna, and The Bookie trot toward a last place finish. See the pick results.

Tiebreakers

Headed into Leg 4, The Strategist holds an important tiebreaker over Kal Krome should they finish with the same trifecta points. Atwork holds tiebreakers over Minds Blank and Little Tuna, however, both have already been eliminated. Kal Krome, Atwork, and Big Tuna have the advantage for selecting Home Teams correctly (twice), while Wise Orangutan remains pie-eyed with an unlikely comeback based on the game scores by their horses. B-Reezy’s Derby dreams broke under the unBearable weight of winning a professional football game.

Race Day Notes:

Each week the Bookie will interview one analysts. This week the Bookie interviewed the Strategist at her high rise apartment in Chicago. When asked how she felt about last weeks results, She humbly applied how surprise she was to have taken the lead so early in the race. She continued (and I quote) by saying “I have a solid chance of beating the Orangutan”. This being a personal goal, she added this prediction “The Wise Orangutan will be the big loser this year!”

We might see a little slipstreaming action with the Little Tuna and The Strategist together to give this Orangutan a Charlie horse.

The Results Are In!

 

Around the third turn, Atwork’s horse sense blitzes the competition, knocking out five Analysts with Viking efficiency and securing the bonus trifecta point for best defense.

In a cagey performance, however, Kal Krome evades the Panther trap set by Atwork and rounds the third turn on a 37-point offensive gallop by the Seahawks.

Wise Orangutan is crushed by his un-super Chargers and joins the Panther-bitten Analysts around the third turn.

The Bookie: Dolphins/Packers/Panthers
Big Tuna: Raiders/Cowboys/Panthers
LittleTuna: Panthers/Colts/Titans
Wise Orangutan: Chargers/Dolphins/Cowboys
The Strategist: Packers/Panthers/Seahawks
Kal Krome: Seahawks/Cowboys/Packers (3 points)
