Shhhhhh.... Derbycat is a SHE not a HE. Don't hurt her feelings.

Maybe Ptman & Pmac picked an entry?

Don't worry all, I'm not easily offended

If you look under the running totals - which lists the DT Member, the results of their most recent pick {ex: S for a "show" pick followed by the total payoff across the board - this is to help determine winners in case there are ties for Steve's weekly prizes}, followed by their current record in the contest {ex: 3: 2-1-0 means that in three races, you picked two winners and a horse that placed}, followed by the total payoff across the board for all current races. Since Steve has weekly prizes I figured more detail was better so we can determine the top players easier.

My only question for Steve is, what takes a higher priority - W/P/S record or total payoff amount? If one player has a record of 4-0-1 $20 because he plays chalk but another person took some chances and was 3-1-1 $40 - who would you consider the winner?

I believe Steve said money will take precedence in the original thread.
