Standings | Analyst of the Year IV | Week 13

Analyst of the Year IV

The Marathon of the Ass is not over yet!

Coming out of the far turn, The Strategist clings to a one length lead over four close competitors. Heading into the home stretch, she has 6 Trifectas and 29 Correct Picks.

Jockeying for the inside rail over the rest of the field, however, Big Tuna and Craft Brew have made their moves in the final turn. Big Tuna moves into second place with 5 Trifectas and league-leading 30 Correct Picks over Craft Brew in third with 5 Trifectas and 29 Correct Picks.

B-Reezy has broken stride after one year of incredible picks. He now slips into fourth place after 5 Trifectas and 28 Correct Picks. Following in spurts and lopes, Wise Orangutan trails in fifth with 5 Trifectas and a league-worst 23 Correct Picks (!!??!!).

Little Tuna smells… a potential upset victory after moving into sixth place with 4 Trifectas and 27 Correct Picks, sending The Bookie back to seventh place after she let up in her euphoria over winning the back stretch (Player Haters Preakness). She gallops behind by a head, 4 Trifectas and 26 Correct Picks.

Kal Krome escapes elimination and gains ground on the front runner with 3 Trifectas and 24 Correct Picks. He runs one head ahead of Atwork with 3 Trifectas and 23 Correct Picks. These two Analysts face elimination next week if The Strategist ties the record for annual Trifectas next week!

Standings | Fibonacci Stakes IV | Final Results

Fibonacci Stakes IV

With a blistering 14 points in the final two legs of the Fibonacci Stakes, Little Tuna takes home her first purse of the season. With winning trifectas in three of five legs, she sets the record for the most points scored in a Fibonacci in league history!

From the middle of the pack, Big Tuna and Kal Krome surge for place and show. Big Tuna’s halos netted him 4 Correct Home Team Picks to edge Kal Krome by a beak (3 Correct Home Team Picks).

Little Tuna would have remained out of reach no matter what he chose to do, but Craft Brew finishes in fourth with 8 Trifecta points after making what most other Analysts agree was, chiefly, a unwise swap in the home stretch.

Speaking of, chiefly, bad decisions, The Strategist finishes in fifth (4 Trifecta points), one length ahead of The Bookie (3 Trifecta points, 6th) and Wise Orangutan (3 Trifecta points, 7th).

B-Reezy, who chiefly is responsible for the poor showing of the former front runners in the AoY competition, edges out Atwork in ninth, who chiefly gets a consolation prize for fooling B-Reezy into making a bad choice, chiefly, in Home Team.

The name of the game is to spot the contenders over the pretenders, so kudos to the Analysts with 3+ Correct Home Team Picks!
