3rd Annual Derby Bookend Contest
 

I guess it's time to start this thread. This little gem of a contest was started a few years ago after a discussion about what horse would 'finish dead last'. So, to have a bit of fun with that, I started a contest in which you must attempt to choose not only the winner in Saturday's Ky Derby, but you must also choose who will finish last-someone has to suffer that ignominy I suppose.
Cal 828 and Pete Mugg were the previous winners. Cal won a book on the Ky Derby; I sent Pete a bloodhorse 8x10 photo of the derby winner, Big Brown. This years' contest winner will receive the same prize-an 8x10 photo of whoever wins this years Derby.
Feel free to start posting picks in this thread-one per person please. Entries will close at post time. Any questions, please ask. Thanks, Deb.

Always fun... Reminds me.. Do'nt or did'nt they used to have a wager to where you had to try and guess the full order of finish?

Yes, they did. Not sure why they bothered. Probably easier to hit
Powerball.

yeah, i remember that. i wonder what was the closest anyone came to winning it.

Would be interesting to know... I forget what it paid if someone ever was to hit it..

We should have a contest like that on here... would be fun to see who came the closest.

We shall see how this pans out, Im going to be there live and in person to see it unfold and I can't wait! Good luck to everyone!

Any chance that the last place finisher (in the contest) be awarded an 8x10 of Scav and Hank?

:D


i guess it would be fitting to give the first and last place a prize, eh? hmmm. i'll have to write scavs. excellent idea!
