The Entrants
The Analysts have submitted their papers and claimed their Home Teams to start the new season. The Claim Box for PC-Fecta Derby V is:
Slate of Games
The slate of games for PC-Fecta Derby V includes six head-to-head competitions this month (the first tiebreaker in the race)! In Leg 1, the clubhouse turn, we kick off the season with The Bookie visiting the new filly, Roxy Trot, in Philadelphia. On Sunday Night Football (SNF), Sponge Mom challenges the current Super Trifecta Bowl champion, Atwork. Leg 2, the back stretch, looks to be a brutal run as three games feature head-to-head competitions: The Strategist vs. The Bookie, Little Tuna vs. Atwork, and Jimmy V vs. B-Reezy. In the last of three head-to-head challenges in the first three legs, The Bookie then hosts Big Tuna in Leg 3 (the far turn).
Home teams owned by an Analyst are in bold. The team at the left is the visiting team; the team at the right is the host (playing at home). There are many featured games: two Thursday nights, three Sunday nights, and three Monday night.
In the fourth week, The Strategist’s Home Team has a bye. She will be ineligible for bonus points so she has to enter the closing stretch with a commanding lead in order to win the fifth annual PC-Fecta Derby!
Picks
Remember: Every Analyst has a bias for his or her Home Team and may NOT pick their Claimed team to lose. Analysts do not have to pick his or her Home Team to win, but *bonus* trifecta points are won only if Analysts include the Home Team in a winning trifecta. See the Derby Rules for more.
Email picks in private to The Bookie before each leg (week) of the Race. Thursday games are due by 2pm on Thursdays (flexible per The Bookie’s time in special circumstances). All three Picks are due on Saturday, September 8, at 2pm. No Picks for games after kickoffs are accepted.
