3 of my alts have won. Nice.

Our current leader is now mes5107 who had the high total for the weekend of $50.20 thanks to being the only player willing to take a chance on high priced Surrealdeal in the Swale :eek: Gaines2b jumps into 2nd with solid picks (2 winners and 2 place picks on the day) and Hickory Hill Hoff holds steady in 3rd place (going to take a lot to knock this top capper down in the standings)

The biggest jump in the standings was a 19 point gain by 2 Dollar Bill who picked two winners :D others that rose in the standing due to excellent picks include Duvalier and golfer.

Those of you that that fell a bit in the standings (myself included in that), don’t worry, we have many races to go and this contest can still be won by anyone – Good luck!

You could do what I did in last years contest....and when you pick the ALT..then switch them...and see how your luck goes .:) :)

Well, I have made the mistake of going by the Stakes schedule on http://horseracing.about.com/od/trip...a/aa01030a.htm and I now realize that the this race happened back in January... my bad :( Obviously, I'm too absorbed in work to pay proper attention to horse racing :mad: I promise this won't happen again :o

This next weekend, we'll do these races:

February 9th Risen Star Stakes Fair Grounds 1 1/16 M
February 9th Turf Paradise Derby Turf Paradise 1 1 /16 M
February 10th San Vicente Stakes Santa Anita 7 F
February 11th Ocala Breeder's Sales Championship OBS 1 1/16 M

I'm hoping that this is all correct :o

Don't sweat it DC you do a fine job handling this contest. Look forward to next weekend's races.

Thanks for all your hard work Derby Cat.

great job as always

In Week 5 we lost at slightly worse than the track take. 219 picks were made, so that's $1314 in bets. We collected $1067.30, for a net loss of -18.8%.

The good news (sort of) is that I made a mistake back in Week 1. We're doing a little better than I thought. I over-counted the number of picks in Week 1 by 9. I'll try to go back and add a correction to those earlier posts, but the totals below should be correct through Week 5:

Through the first 13 races of the contest:
# of picks: 743
Amount bet: $4458
Amount won: $3706
% return: -16.9%

13 Derby Trail cappers are still showing an overall profit.

Sorry about the error earlier!

--Dunbar

Actually, there are 3 additional contest entrants who are showing an overall profit after Week 5. I missed them because they all had "no picks" for some races. One of them hasn't picked since Week 2.

I'll have to rephrase my previous statement to this: "The top 13 in the Contest are showing an overall profit."
