Kent Saunders and Jr Lewis each reached 250 career wins becoming the 23rd and 24th players respectively to reach that mark.

Andrew James reached 150 career wins, becoming the 44th person do to so.

59 people have 100 or more victories in the SIM. Walter Hill is the closest to that level with 99, but he hasn't won an AW Route race since Year 43.

Johanna Stk is the closest of those that have won at least one race this year. She has 85 career wins with 8 wins this year.

[Garret Folsom]

Week 15, Laura Ferguson reached 200 career AW Route wins. She is currentl 31st on the all-time list.

There is quite the battle for the most AW Route wins this year between myself and Jr Lewis. I currently lead with 91 AW Route wins, but Jr has been catching up like crazy. Coming into Week 15 he was 1 win behind me, and had pulled ahead the week before that. I was lucky to have a big week 15 that included 11 wins, but Jr stayed close and is only 4 behind me at 87.

Also of note, Randall Allen is 3 wins shy of moving into a tie with Lee Cara for 4th place on the All-Time list.

[Garret Folsom]

After Thursday races, Jr closed the gap. It's now Garret - 96, Jr. - 95 with one day left. Tonight, Jr. has horses entered in 6 different races, Garret has horses entered in 7 different races. I will say that historically, my Friday results are terrible. This could be an exciting night!!! Oh there is also that "Stewards Cup" thing going on tonight too!!!

[J.r. Lewis]

I had 1 win, 3 2nds, and 3 3rds so all you needed was 1 to avoid the tie...did you get it??? Either way it was a fun season Garret and thanks again for keeping us updated
