This week yielded far more points than previous batches of decisions—and jolted the top of the standings in the process. Back in January, the Affirmed seized first place and held that spot all the way through June. But then, a stunning performance by the Writs (led by Pines Bach, as detailed below) vaulted them over the Affirmed with just days remaining in the season.
