Thanks DerbyCat, it was fun while it lasted! GL to finalists.

Well.. this makes awarding Week One prizes to the top two contestants somewhat easy...

The top two are still alive to play another day! :D Can this contest get any closer? :confused: Exactly $0.10 separates the two players – Wow! :eek:

Will this contest ever end or will it come down to the person with the most $$$ on the final day? :eek:

The DerbyTrail Del Mar Survivor Contest Winner is zippyneedsawin! :D

Zippy’s pick on Saturday finished a winner and paid a total of $14.60 while pweizer’s pick, SuperFreaky failed to close in the stretch and finished out of the $$$. :(

zippyneedsawin outplayed 47 other DTers over ten days of racing and can now be called, “The Ultimate Del Mar Survivor”!!!

Below are the final standings, congratulations to all that played!
