Player Haters Preakness IX
In the final stretch, Bookie had built a 9 point lead over her closest competitor. Her challengers were forced to seek Player Haters Trifectas to overcome the difference. Was there any Hate left in the ninth running of the Preakness?
Nope! Bookie (30 points) closes out the final stretch for the Win and her second Crown in the Player Haters Preakness! It is Bookie’s first Win since Season VI!
Like last year, we have a four-way tie for second place! Bug Bug went for a Player Haters Trifecta and stalled at 18 points in the final Leg. With 3 points each in Leg 5, Sponge Mom, Mo Money, and Wise Orangutan moved into a tie with Bug Bug at 18 points. None of the four Analysts’ Home Teams faced each other during the Preakness, so Place came down to the second tiebreaker…
And it is Sponge Mom with 1 Correct Home Team Pick vs. 0 Correct Home Team Picks by the other three Analysts. By third tiebreaker — forced turnovers per game (ftpg) — Show goes to Wise Orangutan (1.0 ftpg), with Mo Money (0.4 ftpg) in fourth and Bug Bug in fifth place (0.3 ftpg).
Roxy Trot, B-Reezy, Craft Brew and Wreck It Ralph finish in a tie at 15 points each. Again, none of the four Home Teams faced each other during the month, so on second tiebreaker Roxy Trot (3 Correct Home Team Picks) takes sixth place. The other three have 1 Correct Home Team Pick each, and seventh place goes to Craft Brew with 1.5 ftpg. B-Reezy and Wreck It Ralph finish in tie for eighth place with 1.2 ftpg each.
Jimmy V, Woody, Little Tuna, Big Tuna, KateTDid, and Boo Boo finish with 12 points each. The Strategist and Atwork bring up the rear with 6 points each.
