Spent a lot of time worrying about whom to put in 8th position. Don't remember ever having to figure that out before. Then got distracted by trying to figure out the odds of getting the top 8 finishers, but I ran out of places on my calculator. In any event, here goes:

4a: 7,14,11,10,16,9,18,6

4b. 7,14,11,10

4c. 3 (several good candidates for this honor)

EEEEEESSSHHHH, what did I get myself into!!!

[cruzan200246]

I don't care what anyone says including the stewards but me myself and John Velasquez was ripped off today. That cost me a perfect PK3. 14 bumped into 5 because he was ahead. Anyone disagree, agree?

You're too funny Love you

Try this, score a contest with dead heats, or 1 AND 1A hit the board, and using a score sheet that's glitching.

Hey, drink a nice martini and you'll be just fine. I really appreciate you putting a lot of FUN into this weekend. Great job!

A little local Fort Worth-Derby connection story here. Ramona Bass Fort Worth elite family "Bass Family" that helped develop much of central downtown Fort Worth is the breeder of Magnum Moon. The Bass family are the de' Medici family of this area, MEGA BUCKS but they put it to good public use in every part of the city . . and there own private developments as well. (Look up de' Medici and you'll understand). But Ramona grew up in California and was led to horse racing by her father who was a breeder. She spent most of her youth at the Santa Anita back side, thus her never ending love for thoroughbreds. They also had money (of course) before she became a Bass but who cares about that kind of money . . . it's a real Fort Worth, Texas connection!!! Do ya'think they have a seat at the Derby??? FUN STUFF.

Anyway there's big press here about her horse Magnum Moon, so I have to play him for sure . . . and BTW he's a pretty darn good one to play and pull for. One last note the firm I am now working for (again) in Fort Worth, has the Bass Family as one of their clients and they have for years. Need I say more?

OK, back to business . . . Who was the knuckle head that came up with these crazy picks deals?!
