No less than SEVEN Analysts equal B-Reezy’s former record of 2 straight Trifectas to start a season and hold first place in a deadheat! Which of these will be the first Analyst(s) to start a season with 3 Trifectas in a row (left to right in the standings): Craft Brew, Big Tuna, Roxy Trot, Jimmy V, Little Tuna, The Bookie, and/or Atwork?
B-Reezy and Sponge Mom (1 Trifecta, 5 Correct Picks to each) share 8th place, just ahead of Wise Orangutan (1 Trifecta, 3 Correct Picks) in 10th place.
The Strategits, Woody, and KateTDid (0 Trifectas, 4 Correct Picks) bring up the rear after the first two legs of the Marathon of the Ass.

Tiebreakers after Week 2 of Analyst of the Year VI
Down the back stretch, Roxy Trot nabs all ten *bonus points* and nets a *base* Trifecta to take the lead with 27 points total. Craft Brew (21 points) gives chase in 2nd place with a *base* Trifecta and *extra* point of his own. Atwork (17 points) rounds out the leader board in 3rd place after posting a *base* Trifecta and *extra* point.
After two Legs with *base* Trifectas plus *extra* points, Little Tuna, Jimmy V, and The Bookie are in striking distance of the leaders at 14 points each. Little Tuna cowpokes into 4th place on third tiebreaker (+14.0 point differential per game [pdpg]). She is challenged by Rammin’ Jimmy V (+12 pdpg) in 5th place and The Bill-ish Bookie in 6th place (+7.5 pdpg).
Big Tuna wisely went for the *base* Trifecta without his Saintly Home Team and is alone in 7th place with 13 points. In 8th place, B-Reezy (10 points) Charged into the Lion’s den, fumbled the ball, and limped home with a *lame* Trifecta. Sponge Mom (9 points) moves up the field into sole possession of 9th place with her first *base* Trifecta of the season.
Still seeking their first *base* Trifecta of the Derby, Woody (7 points) inches past KateTdDid (7 points) on third tiebreaker (+0.5 pdpg vs. -2.5 pdpg). The Strategist (6 points, -4.5 pdpg) in 10th place and Wise Orangutan (6 points, -16 pdpg!) in last place bring up the back of the field.
