Congratulations to cowgirlintexas & timmgirvan!
 

We have a tie for the Triple Crown Championship! Congratulations to cowgirlintexas :tro: & timmgirvan! :tro: They both had zero points going into the Belmont but they each picked the winner and had the exacta and trifecta as well - nicely done! :D derby73 finishes the contest in 3rd and will be a force to be reckoned with in future contests!

Unfortunately, if you do not see your name below, it's because you finished with a final total of $0.00 and rather than embarrass you I chose to not list those of us that couldn't pick a single horse in the money in three races :o

Once again, thank you for playing the Derby Trail and Triple Crown contests again this year, let's do it again at the start of 2010!

Congrats to cowgirlintexas and timmgirvan for their fine Belmont handicapping, and thank you to Derbycat for the kind words.

I look forward to competing again next year.

Thanks Derby

It was a late surge to the wire in the end just like Summer Bird :)

Big high 5 to Tim too :tro:

A fun contest. Way to go to Timm and Cowgirl. Thanks for the contest DerbyCat. I look forward to next year's version also.

Cowgirl,

I am a novice compared to virtually everyone on this site, but I really focus on the Triple Crown races and combine history with PPs and other DRF information (which my posts on derbytrail.com show). I got in the lead in the Triple Crown Contest because history told me that the winner of the Derby would finish in the money in the Preakness, and one other Derby runner would finish in the money. I liked Rachel Alexandra and chose Musket Man with MTB and I hit that Tri. For the record, I thought MTB was a fluke in the Derby, but history made me bet in otherwise.

Based on recent history for the Belmont, I thought, 1) MTB won't win, but barring injury, he should be in the running and 2) at least 2 of the top 3 horses would have run in the Derby. I selected Charitable Man and MTB and decided that among Dunkirk, Flying Private, Summer Bird and Mr. Hot Stuff, that I should go with Mr. Hot Stuff and Flying Private. Oh well; some times the magic works and some times it doesn't.

It was all fun nevertheless.
