Derby Week . . . $ & Bonus Extras, Opinions and Insights

[DonGuido]

The 150th Kentucky Derby (starting 9 years after the end of the Civil War)
Quite amazing!

As usual every year we add extra fuel to the Tripe Crown race days starting with The Derby of course so herer we go again:

1. Your wallet is doubled to $200 with the 4 wager limit still there. If you play The Oaks Derby Double that counts as one of your 4 wagers.
2. We will be awarded double points also, not double bonus points though.
3. Extra bonus plays . . .
- 10 bonus pts to pick the straight exacta
- 15 bonus pts for the straight trifecta
- 10 bonus pts if you pick the last place horse
- 10 bonus pts for the closest guess to the official attendance number

4. Also in this thread tell us what's on your mind about the race, horses your looing at, post positions draw favoring any horse over the others, best long shot play, the weather faving any horse . . . it could always rain but I hope not . . . and other thoughts you have about the Derby..

Thanks for playing and for being who you are!!!

I remember that as a Breeders' Cup activity; just don't recall doing that for Derby Day, but memory can be a very elusive thing.

You are probably correct

Of all my outstanding attributes
MEMORY IS NOT ONE OF THEM

Made me laugh Cal, that "t" jumped ship to the next word, but I like the idea. If there's not a few typos and mispelled words in my posts, it must have come from a spamer, not me.
